Egypt 2012 presidential election

Morsi vs. Shafiq?

I...think I might have to support the Islamic Brotherhood.  I can't believe it. 

Mahmoud, you have my sympathy.  Those are terrible options.

Yes, revolutionists and seculars would support Morsi over Shafiq anyday. To have the Muslims Brotherhood is better than having the old regime again, albeit with different faces.
Though lots say they would boycott voting if the run-off was between them two.

Ouch... that's a tricky choice. Lesser of two evils vote for most people then?

I'm in Qena, a city in upper Egypt.

One of the Huffington Post images of the election (the only one showing the election outside of Cairo, I believe) is female voters in Qena. Just thought that was interesting. Image is here.

Wait, wasn't Moussa expected to win ? This looks like an upset.

Moussa was the favorite, then Fotouh, then Shafiq, according to polling. So yeah, this'd be an upset.

Why is everyone here supporting Sabahy, the nasserist?

Cause he's a democrat and a secularist, and the other options are either Brotherhood (Fotouh, Morsi) or ex-regime (Shafiq, Moussa).
