Flashback ~ If only Kibaki had called Raila to congratulate him on that morning of 28th December 2007.

There's a big lesson to be learnt here by the Kenya media, they need to learn when to call an election result. IEBC have so far done a fantastic job in releasing by elections results.

I think this 'tight race' was nothing but media creation. But somehow it helped to diffuse overconfidence (remeand ensure Democrats, especially the African Americans turned up in large numbers to vote.

I also suspect that there could be silent celebration in the Republican camp. Obama has helped them (Republicans) get rid of McCain and Romney (as far as I know they can not run again). The Democrats may want to ensure that Obama passes on the baton to another Democrat in 2016(Hillary Clinton is a very likely successor) but it is also likely that a serious Republican contender will emerge in the next two years.

They need to be taught how to concede defeat. They can start with listening to Uhuru's in 2002 when he lost to Baks! Mambo ya mass action haisaidi mtu!
