Mega-Bambang Boom!

The results are in, finally, from the Indonesian presidential election last July 5th. They should surprise exactly no one:

Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono 33.5%
Megawati Sukarnoputri 26.6%
General (Ret.) Wiranto 22.2%
Amien Rais 14.7%
Hamzah Haz 3%

Bambang and Mega go to a runoff in September. They're both lukewarm candidates who won't change a damn thing in Indonesia, but at least they won't ruin the place, like that eel Wiranto.

UPDATE: This post begins a week of not referring to the Democratic convention here at Radio Free Mike.
