By-election in Kurah, Lebanon

You will rarely see surprises in Lebanese elections anymore: the sects are now almost solidly one way, or solidly split, like among Christians.  In Kura, the Greek Orthodox vote will be split between the two sides, but the 2000 or so Sunni voters will determine the outcome on the side of the Lebanese Forces' candidate.  No surprises.
