As Erik D’Amato writes in his Hungarian blog:

In a stunning upset likely to send shockwaves throughout the so-called “blogosphere,” recently-launched Hungarian-American website Pestiside.hu yesterday beat recently-launched Hungarian-American website www.georgesoros.com in the race to be the first Internet weblog, or “blog,” to successfully throw a significant electoral contest.

At issue was the presidency of the American Chamber of Commerce in Hungary:

The Hungarian AmCham has ceased to be an institution dedicated to promoting the “American” way of doing business, and is instead now a local symbol of the most “un-American” of bad business habits, including cronyism, cartelism, non-transparency and even a degree of media coercion.

Erik exposes the issues, including a possible conflict of interest for the incumbent. Did Pestiside make the difference in the election? Why don’t we just say yes? After all, aren’t all politics blogal?
