I'm referring to Nadine's charge that the Palestinians don't have a "real" democracy because they elected someone she doesn't like. I'm not at all sure we have a real democracy here anymore

No, dope. Not because they elected someone I don't like. Because they elected the one annointed candidate who ran against a token opposition. There is no opposing party (except Hamas, who didn't run). Only Fatah controls the newspaper and the TV. Only Fatah got to run a campaign. The whole election was fixed from day one.
