	Lithuanian Presidential Elections: Runoff Inflate your Upload Space

Here I'll post results of runoff just as I did in the first round. Votes counting still didn't started, but ballots were closed 30 minutes ago.

Results of the last poll in newspapers:
Rolandas PAKSAS - 50,8%
Valdas ADAMKUS - 49.2%

It seems we'll have very close elections, just as we did in 1997, when Valdas ADAMKUS won in runoff against Artūras PAULAUSKAS by less than 1% of votes...

Stay tuned to this thread for more info.

However, these could change very much since votes are first counted in smaller regions (villages, towns). While bigger regions (cities) are counted later. Currently, it seems ADAMKUS is winning in cities, while PAKSAS - in country.

Which one was the old guy? On the news they told one was like 75 years old ("he must be something special since he's so old that he could've just retired, but no, he is vigorous and runs for presidency") and the other one is young and aggressive ("he is very initiative-making, and once he flew under a bridge!").

Adamkus is the old one, paksas is the young one. Yes, Paksas flew under bridge as an election campaign .

Stefu: Paksas stands for Liberitarian Democratic Party (center), Adamkus is independent (political views are lightly right)

So the young one is winning, good. Last time we had an old bald guy as president, he went on a fishing trip to Iceland, got a cold and promptly died. Lesson: old=bad.

This almost happened in Lithuania back in 1992, when one old guy was in elections. Fortunately he lost because he died in 1994...

I'm not too familiar with politics in Lithuania. When they had elections in Latvia last autumn, it seemed corruption was the main thing. Do you have any big theme now? EU and NATO?

Hurricane, both candidates supports NATO and EU thus this wouldn't be a good think to advertiese in campaigns.

PAKSAS in his campaign was very active, I might say even populist. He said that he would raise pensions, make the healthcare more easily accessable and to fight the crime. PAKSAS is 46 years old. Knows English, Lithuanian and Russian languages.

ADAMKUS campaign was passive, he mostly used songs, and pictures in which he stood near GW Bush, etc. He promised almost nothing, but thus he wasn't attacked for being populist. ADAMKUS is 77 years old that means it is his last elections (in Lithuania older than 80 years can't be elected). He knows Lithuanian, English, Russian and Polish languages.

Sonic, can we except swings as more reports come in? For instance, in Finland's last election, as the votes were reported starting from northernmost counties, it first looked like candidate Aho was winning (his party, Centre, is strong amongst farmers and generally in the north) but as the big cities started reporting, the scale tipped to candidate Halonen (Social Democrat, strongest in south and the cities)
