the day after tomorrow here in cairo, i guess everywhere in the world, after tomorrow, they would go and proceed and announce the final results. now that this has become such an emotional deadlock, it could be, and this is just speculation, that the electoral commission will decide to slow down this process. that they re going to say, we re going to exam all of the complaints a little more, and we re not going to announce as has been expected on thursday the results, maybe we ll push it back a few days to let some water pass under this bridge and to cool temperatures down. if that doesn t happen and thursday comes around and the electoral commission, which is the plan of now, comes out and says either shafiq or morsi has won and will be the new president, somebody is going to be very upset. one of the camps is going to be claiming fraud, claiming that the electorate was stolen. if shafiq s group wins, the muslim brotherhood and all of
