Hamas? WTF, Mate?

I don't need to post a link for you folks; if you want to go read it in a hard news article, you can do it for yourself. After exit polls showed a slight lead for the ruling Fatah party (that was Yasser Arafat's party), Hamas claimed victory with 76 out of 132 seats in parliament.

I'm still sort of mentally sorting through this, and I've gotten a little distracted since I started writing this post. Expect an expansion this evening.
