Mugabe Loses

For those of you that follow international politics, you might have been expecting to Robert Mugabe to win yet another term as Zimbabwe's president, and to win handily by a fixed margin of 15 points or so due to election hijinx. However, Mugabe lost by a scant few tenths of a percent to Morgan Tsvangirai, the leader of opposition party Movement for Democratic Change. Knowing Mugabe, this means that he really lost quite badly, since Tsvangirai managed to overcome however much ballot box stuff Mugabe engaged in.
