I changed my mind. Instead of Koike, Yamamoto will be the one. If not this time, he will be one day and for more than a year. They have been grooming him for a long time.

"Taro Aso, 67"

He doesn't seem to have even one gray hair... amazing! Well, after a few months of the top job, he'll start getting some gray hairs.

sarge: He could easily be dying it. Not saying he is... being born with a silver spoon in his mouth and never having to worry about anything... but it's a pretty well known fact that even men here dye their hair when graying (not all). Hell, I've seen an inordinate amount of kids with gray hair at 13!

bushlover- Japan and the LDP need bashing. Especially the LDP which allow ministers to spout xenaphobic claptrap, and the worse one of all being the favourite to win.

The apathy in Japans citizens is pathetic. Demonstrate, petition, do something to try to make your country better, instead of moaning against alleged foreign threats all the time.

I have never been in a classroom , since i left school, what is your point?

Afterall it is LDP party's internal affair and they should elect/select their next leader behind close doors without wasting public time, money and media resources.
