Conan's Finland Stays Left

On Sunday, January 29, in a presidential election that received publicity from late night talk show host, Conan O'Brien, the left-leaning president Tarja Halonen was re-elected by winning the run-off election against her conservative opponent Sauli Niinisto, 52% to 48%. Conan gave special recognition to this election because the president, Halonen, has similar facial features with the late night talk show host. This fact was highlighted on several episodes through a variety of skits. Since the show is broadcast in Finland and seeing how close the results turned out, could it be possible that Conan got President Halonen re-elected?
