actually this whole charade is for the DPJ to be brought in to take the blame for all the hidden bankruptcies and pain. Typical ...

OK, from an editorial standpoint, the "please" was probably unnecessary. But, I can definitely understand the frustrations politically and considering how difficult people like me make the lives of the editorial and moderation staff, I'm willing to cut a lot of slack (do demands for an apology here, gang ;-) ).

And speaking of editing....that "do" should be a "no."

Oh my God,Only 3 days to go.

It is either DPJ takes out LDP.

Or LDP takes out all challenges from DPJ.

Either LDP or DPJ will be taken out , on election day.

from the current standing, DPJ will surely win. I think it is better to give DPJ chance to run Japan once so that they can experience how difficult it is compare to just critizing everytime.

Even DPJ wins the election, can Hatoyama became a PM?

Who has the actural power in DPJ??

Next PM is Yukio Hatoyama ,from 31-8-2009.

513 JT voters voted him in.

My guess is Hatoyama won't serve long: somehow, I believe that Ozawa will end up being the Prime Minister within a year, if not sooner. Sorry to say it, but Ozawa looks too sly to be content to sit on the sidelines or with simply a cabinet position, while even during "victory" interviews, Hatoyama looked as clueless as a deer being struck by a truck's headlights....almost as if he didn't expect to win....
