Let's see if they pile up so high that the floaters get riled up enough to go to the polls, come July.<BR/><BR/>If only the DPJ can add up to more, not less, than the sum of its parts.

Abe can't afford too many more scandals. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, the DPJ is still having too much difficulty finding a niche from which to oppose the LDP. The two parties still overlap in their members' preferences so much that too many party members can see themselves in either party but, of course, would always want to be in the party that controls the government. That is the LDP for now but it won't always be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
