Writing Off Candidates. . .

Pundits never learn from their mistakes. No one gave al-Sadr the time of day going into the war in Iraq, or even immediately following the fall of Baghdad. People wrote him off, saying he would never cull a real following because he was unexciting and disconnected. Well we all know what happened with that. Now these same pundits are saying the same things about many of the potential Palestinian leaders. I know this may seem contrary to my previous statements about Abbas, but watch for a dark horse to take this election.
