Conan's Finn didn't win -- UPDATE

by Anna Johns, posted Jan 16th 2006 12:05PM
She didn't lose, either. Finland President Tarja Halonen, a dead-ringer for American talk show host Conan O'Brien, received only 46% of the vote in this weekend's election, forcing her into a run-off against a conservative candidate. Finn laws require the winner to receive at least 50% of the vote.

Leading up to the election, there were several articles that expressed some concern among the Finns that Conan's mock-campaign endorsing Halonen would influence the election. I think we can expect to see some more campaigning on Conan's part all week long, assuming he's not in reruns.
