Many people will, if the vote will go on over nine days, vote for Pim Fortyun because they heard the news, saw the pictures and all that will still be in their minds when they see all the names before them in the votingbooth.

Well, I certainly don't think that people will be swayed from the other parties, but I admit you may be right after all that former Pim-supporters will give him a sympathy vote. I've seen the footage of the crowd at the Binnenhof, and I'll admit I may have had too much faith in the intelligence of the population.
And of course it's all over the telly and radio here... duh.
