Hasn't Hamas pretty much pushed out the PLO as a political power in Palestine? So, other than Arafat being a figurehead, ...trying to phrase this question appropriately... Why should his death matter? (and I'm not negating the importance of a figurehead)

Has he been keeping Hamas in line? The PLO, to the best of my limited knowledge of the Mid East, has been somewhat quiet... but Hamas hasn't. So what will really change when he dies?
