Who Do We Want To Win The Afghan Election?........

I haven't heard which candidate we'll be backing or are hoping to come out on top. Is it Kharzi? (spelling?)

1. Karzai will win. He is corrupt, crooked and ineffective.

Abdullah Abdullah is the next closest rival and former cabinet member of Karzai's. He may have prevented Karzai from winning the first round. In fact if Karzai is declared winner after the first vote, it will not be accepted as legitimate by the Afghan people. Ghani has been the third place in polling. He has been advised by James Carville. He also was in Karzai's cabinet and seen as not corrupt. He is who the Obama administration prefers. THe US has been working with Ghani. When Karzai is announced the winner, likely after a second vote in October, the US is going to install Ghani as the CEO of Afghanistan.
