CAIRO (CNN) - Egyptians started casting their ballots Saturday in a presidential runoff that pits two candidates whose platforms are at the crux of the country's political chaos.
On one side, an Islamist backed by the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. On the other, a former air force general who served as the last prime minister in the waning days of Hosni Mubarak's regime.
And sitting in the background, overseeing the election - and the creation of a new constitution - are the military rulers who have been in control of the country since Mubarak was ousted from power last year.
The biggest question facing the at least 50 million Egyptians eligible to cast ballots in the runoff is what happens after voters decide between Mohamed Morsi of the Justice and Freedom Party, the Muslim Brotherhood's political arm, and former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafik.

Quirky news just in for you bobcat: An Austrian woman files for divorce when the groom gets caught gettin dirty with a waitress at the reception! Seven second itch?? hope this stays up long enough for you to read it.
@chrissy, I saw it and must ask if this is true or are you joking.
Heck if i know, but sounds like a joke to me! Lol every evening i get a quirky newsflash on my phone. And theyre almost always funny!
@chrissy, there has been a lot of crazy stuff coming out of Austria since that demonic father who kept his daughter in a basement and did unspeakable things.
@dazzle ©:
Oh, that man was evil.
Evil, sick, sick evil.
Ghastly!
@banasy©, they should have just killed him. Perfect cretin for the death penalty.
Ok now i better NEVER get that kinda newsflash or ill be gettin a different phone service. And dont tell me anymore puleeezzz!
@chrissy, the only newsflashes I get on my phone now is weather alerts. The insomniac is notorious for reading news on her phone.
@dazzle©:
One of the worst cases I've ever seen!
Monster.
@chrissy:
This isn't the amusing sort of story, so you don't have to worry.
Yea i gathered and im going to a different thread now, as it doesnt sound like anything i want to know about ttyl.
@chrissy:
All I meant was it's unlikely to be sent to your phone.
@banasy©,not that I condone the kids infamous quote but this monster would be a candidate for that. She used the same quote on her Dad this week and he grounded her. She expects me to play the good cop on this but I don't work that way. Usually I am the bad cop.
@dazzle ©:
She seriously used that on her father?
And she expects you to back her up, lol?
Oh, the moxie that one has!
@dazzle ©:
And yeah, Austriaman would have been a primo candidate!
@banasy©, she did indeed. We did it by SKYPE and she said "Mom, is that a smirk on your face." I thought when she turned 20 the drama queen would settle down. LOL, usually he is the one that is brought in when she gets umbrage from me.
