http://www.qando.net/ - An election only Jimmy could endorse

President Bashar Assad won another seven years in office, getting 97 percent of the vote in a nationwide referendum on his leadership in which he was the only candidate, according to results announced Tuesday.

Interior Minister Bassam Abdul-Majid said that 95 percent of the country's almost 12 million voters turned out at the polls in Sunday's presidential vote.

Only 19,635 voters said "no" to Assad's re-election, while 253,000 ballots were considered invalid.

Yes, folks, no opposition and complete control over the voting process, but there are those among us who would claim it was a democratic process. And you have to say one thing for Assad - he's consistent:

Assad, a British-educated ophthalmologist, became president shortly after the death of his father, Hafez Assad, in 2000. In his first referendum, he also received 97 percent approval.
