Mchan dont forget We had Good Military leaders in the past wht we didn't hav was a real Political feagure .... do u agree on that? anyway how we can trust SF ? MR failed to do 85% of his Promises ... now we have another unknown fellow (I wonder he is a pupet of Foriegners just like Ranil) SF would have easily win if Karu or Sajith take the UNP leadership
RANIL PODA ............. RANIL PODA

You are obviously forgetting and ignoring the fact that ranil got 48% in the past election, without the north and the east. Even in 2005, ranil was alleged to be biased to the ltte and he still managed 48%. Therefore if you take the premise that the UNP voter base has not changed based on the fact that ranil was allegedly "un-patirotic" even in 2005, combined with SF which will no doubt clear the alleged "un-patriotic" label to a certain extent or fully he should easily win.
This is based on your arguement itself, not my personal arguement as i believe that it is much more complicated to predict the result due to other factors involved. This is just to provide a counter arguement to show that your premise is riddled with fault.
To add; I completely disagree for any of these candidates taking credit for the military victory of the war as it is the normal citizen who PAID of the war in terms of funds and in terms of man power (army/navy/airforce etc..) therefore neither can take credit for the victory. However again on your arguement credit should go to SF as you claim it was a "military victory", the narrow sense of the word you used suggests it was a military victory this the head of the army should be given credit not the political leader. If the war was concluded with a political solution then mahinda should be given credit, as it would be a "political victory".
Furthermore, the war is now over!! get over it!!, MR or SF either one who won the war means absolutely nothing to predict how either one will perform at developing the economy of the country which is the need of the hour. However the economic management of the current government is at a pathetic state which leaves room to believe that a UNP led government is the solution for sustainable development.
