Okay,
it’s not quite Secret Muslim Socialist vs. Mr. 53%, but for what it’s worth,
their more or less consensus...
Abe, Shinzo: He quit prime minister because
his stomach hurt, and he’s running again?*
Hayashi, Yoshimasa: Member of the House of
Councillors, so he’s not really eligible.
Ishiba, Shigeru: Can’t he smile a little bit
more?
Ishihara, Nobuteru: His words carry no
weight.
Machimura, Nobutaka: 67 is a dangerous age.**
Sidebar: Mori is Abe and Machimura’s
faction leader and he’s pushing Ishihara?
Ishiba by default if big business has its
way? We’ll know in another week, one way or another.

True dialogue overheard elsewhere:
Journalist:
He quit because he had a tummy ache!
Pundit
X : It’d be like nominating Tom Eagleton for president!
** They’d just received word
that Machimura had been hospitalized.
