Why do I think it will be 95% or more ‘for Castro’?

Critical elections in Cuba? Funny.
I would say that for the question of Fidel Castro retaining power, the options would be "Yes" and "Yes."

The people need not vote. The result is decided by somebody else.
IMHO, we are going to see Fidel’s remarkable winning streak come to an end. It is going to go from 99.44% for Fidel to 99.42% for Raul. Since Fidel’s been dead a year, he won’t mind.

ROFL! AP is deliberately funny. We all know there is NO suspense to Cuban elections. "Critical?" I can tell you right now

The word on the street is that the smart money is on Fidel.

Jimmy Carter needs to get some money from his Muslim owners so he will be available to rubber stamp elections to 2 countries.
