Tom, would you share your thoughts on Hamas winning the Palestinian elections?

I moved this up if you're thinking you've read this before :)

I'm curious what your thoughts are on Hamas winning the Palestinian elections? Do you believe "although it is very easy to say we don't deal with terrorists, it is nearly impossible to not deal with them--though that would be the best thing" applies to Hamas? They are saying they will not disarm.
Since both Europe and the US have Hamas on their list of terrorists can Hamas ever have international legitimacy?
Olmert said “The state of Israel will not negotiate with a Palestinian administration if even part of it is an armed terrorist organization calling for the destruction of the state of Israel,” I don't see how Israel could respond in any other way.

Just when I thought Statehood for Palestine was a good possibility .... sh*t happens - Sharon's stroke, Hamas winning 60.3 percent of the vote.
I'm sure Hamas winning will effect the Israeli elections in March. How do you see it?
