In less than eight hours the voting will start. In Beirut, it is only a matter of participation; the higher it is the better it will be for Future Movement and its level of support, their candidate victory is almost certain. The battle lies to the east of Beirut, in Mount Lebanon, In Metn.
In the Metn Amine Gemayel, representing March 14 is fighting a titanic battle against Aoun, who is currently supported and aided by Syria’s allies in Lebanon, like Hezbollah, SSNP and the Baath Party…
In 2005 Aoun won with more than 20000 voice s of difference. This time the battle is much, much closer. Who will win? Is a question that can only be answered tomorrow by this time. Nevertheless, there are two certainties that can be reached tonight.
The first is that the difference between the two candidates will be less than 5% of the votes. The second is the level of tension, polarization and HATE have reached such a level that clashes are a most probable. And if events get out of control, with the army spread thin all over Lebanon, and blood drench the streets the repercussions will be catastrophic…
So in the end, good luck to all candidates, may the best man win and above all else let the election be peaceful…

Dear Bob,
You are insisting on "FPM allies like SSNP, Baath and Hezbolah", knowing that they have no power in Metn... but of course, you forget easily to talk about Murr and Tashnag (and about FPM's MoU with Hezbollah). This is definitely aimed to harm FPM image and that's not fair.
Except your pro-syrian rhetoric which is unuseful, there is nothing to add. You have your own logical analysis and of course, you are calling for peaceful election which I cannot but agree with you.
Good luck all and try to give peace signs when passing near your opponents.
for the power of SSNP and HA in Metn check FPM own orange room and how happy they are with this alliance...
I don't think FPMers are not happy with SSNP rhetoric at all because it's exploited in a wrong way against the party. At the end, we all know that Syria don't want Aoun as president, so of course, they will try to hurt him by such embarassing position which are not useful/helpful at all.
I repeat, you know that and you're exploiting this at your maximum.
