Abbas wins Palestinian Presidential election
The AP reports:
Mahmoud Abbas won 66 percent of the vote in the Palestinian presidential election Sunday, according to an exit poll.Perhaps peace might be edging closer to reality.
Such a margin of victory would give Abbas a clear mandate to renew peace talks with Israel, rein in militants and reform the corruption-riddled Palestinian Authority.
Abbas' main challenger, Mustafa Barghouti, won 19.7 percent of the vote, according to the poll conducted by the independent Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research.
