1. 12:31 Paper ballots being hand counted

While soft music plays in the background.

2. I don't see how Blatter can lose

As long as Africa and Asia are in his pocket. The only hope is that the last few days events will result in massive defections away from Sepp, but I just can't see it happening. He funnels too much money into their federations, or at least into the bank accounts of those who run their federations.

4. You were right

[Renew Deal]

3. 1st Round vote: Blatter 133, Prince Ali 73

But only a majority is needed in the second round and there are only two candidates. This is a done deal. Sad

5. The only way this asshole gets canned is a mass defection on the part of

huge money mega-corporation sponsors.
