Sauli Niinistö can't win the 2006 elections. That would mean 99.5% of the world's population would be unable to spell the current Finnish president's surname correctly. JIP 10:34, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

He qualified for a run-off against Tarja Halonnen.--T. Anthony 02:16, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

He hasn't won the election yet. We'll see how the run-off goes. JIP | Talk 08:43, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

I think Taria Halonnen is much harder to type than Sauli Niinistö.

Really? I thought it was the other way around, with Niinistö having both an ugly, non-standard, Euro-snobbish accented vowel and a repeated vowel in his surname. Note that Tarja Halonen's first name is spelled with a j. It's still pronounced like "Tarya" in English, not like Conan O'Brien pronounces it. JIP | Talk 17:59, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
