Hamas Wins
Hamas has reportedly won a large majority in the Palestinian legislature. Many are already predicting the end to the peace process. Britain--for its part--is urging Hamas to renounce violence.

Oxblog has an interesting comment: Hamas did not prepare itself to run a government.

It's not clear anyone wanted this, least of all Hamas, who in assuming the administration of the Palestinian national authority's creaking and often corrupt bureaucracy single-handed in a moment when its sole lifeline of European and other international support appears threatened, may just have stumbled into the biggest molasses patch the Harakat al-Muqawamah al-Islamiyyah has ever faced. Unlike the Lib Dems of 1985, Hamas did not go to its constituencies to prepare for government. It had prepared for a coalition, or possibly pristine opposition, but not this.

UPDATE: More from NRO.
