I promised that I would explain my bracket in my last post. Two things need to be perfectly clear. One, this is my "Two Cents". Two, I am acting penitently during the Lenten season.
Dictators first.
Rd. 1
Ahmadinejad has much more experience than the SCAF
Thein Sein was part of the SLORC before creating the USDP (SLORC just sounds coolly nasty)
the Castros are on the ropes, Mugabe on the other hand is a creep.
Chavez annoys me, give Kim Jong Un the upset in this one.
Putin, hey he just stole another election
Abdullah, not Abdullah II, he has lasted quite awhile in a place where he is really not liked.
Hu hands down, why? Heck it's China
al-Bashir, currently one of the world's biggest, well you know what I was going to say.
Rd 2.
Ahmadinejad vs. Sien...Ahmadinejad--he's closer to nukes.
Mugabe vs. Kim...Mugabe has been around longer.
Putin vs. Abdulah...did I mention that Putin just stole another election.
Hu vs. Bashir...ok, Hu just let someone hold election in Southwest China, Bashir is still a....
Quarter-Finals
Ahmadinejad vs. Mugabe...Mugabe is old and will die sooner. Give the nod to Ahmadinejad.
Putin vs. Bashir...Putin has nukes and just stole an election.
Semi-Finals
Ahmadinehad vs. Putin...Sorry Ahmadinejad, you still don't have nukes and Putin just stole an election.
And now, Democrats
Rd 1
Obama beats Sarkozy..only because the French are more socialist.
Netanyahu vs. Erdogan...neither one is really democratic, I'll give it to Erdogan (no real reason)
Calderon vs. Gillard...Calderon will call in a favor from a drug gang on this one.
Papademos vs. Merkel...Greece has a state? Merkel all the way here.
Marzouki vs. Monti...Marzouki (remember my Lenten penitence...I haven't been nice to the Arab Spring)
Rousseff vs. Singh...I haven't been nice to Latin Americans either. Rousseff wins
Cameron vs. Kirchner...Malvinas Islands aside, Cameron is a socialist. Kirchner wins.
Lagarde vs. Ban...Ban is the Sec Gen of the UN
Rd 2.
Obama vs. Erdogan...last I checked Erdogan has not violated the Turkish Constitution (targeted killing of
citizens anyone).
Calderon vs. Merkel...Merkel wins again.
Marzouki vs. Rousseff...Marzouki, gonna have some faith in Cindarella this year.
Kirchner vs. Ban...I don't like the UN that much. Go Kirchner.
Quarter-Finals
Erdogan vs. Merkel...Erdogan is meaner, so I'll go with Erdogan.
Marzouki vs. Kirchner...still rooting for Cindarella. Go Marzouki.
Semi-Finals
Erdogan vs. Marzouki...has Marzouki been around long enough to mess things up...no, go Marzouki.
The Final
Democrat--Marzouki
Dictator--Putin
The winner--Marzouki...hasn't stolen an election or tried to recreate an autocratic state (but,hey give him time).
