Another election WOW I have only seen about 28 since 1996. Cars driving around using loud speakers, people waving with white gloves on yeah.

Loathe though I am to say it, an Ishihara is the least offensive choice right now!

Bad News for Aso san...his foundation of power will be weakened even he sits in PM!

does anyone believe Aso can hold the position for more than a year? all bets accepted: 1 year or less-1/1 More than a year 2000000/1 I think koine is the best choice if change is the desired result. the others are just carbon copies.

The LDP is doomed.

Ishihara's son. I think.

Aso blocked Fukuda's legislation for political reasons. He should not be Prime Minister. He's a dick.

How about Koike Yuriko? I think Japan would be well served by a woman PM.

Sorry LIBERTAS. Misread your post. "An" Ishihara would be acceptable. I was even thinking Shintaro I. should throw in his hat.
