Protests in Tibet have turned violent, with two official reported deaths thus far as police has fired on crowds. Protests have been ongoing, lead by monks against Chinese rule, perhaps the largest such protest in decades.

Full results below. I'll open the floor up to discussion now

So for those who dont particularly care for her candidacy, I'm sure this question has bounced around your head:
