Since the election decree is not in effect yet.<BR/><BR/>Agree that Samak is taking Thaksin-imitator platform without the grace or savvy (if you can call it that). But Abhisit promotion point is only youth and new face (his resume is a joke). The Thairath political satire cartoon always draw him as puppet with string attach, and there is reason for that.<BR/><BR/>The picking for this election is, indeed, poor (And god forbid Prachai).fallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00200525484743926858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267868265216485637.post-55525592855837826792007-10-16T06:39:00.000+08:002007-10-16T06:39:00.000+08:00I agree that from a western viewpoint Abhisit is c...I agree that from a western viewpoint Abhisit is clearly the only credible candidate, but is he mean & tough enough to be Thai PM?<BR/><BR/>IMO the majority of Thai do not seem particularly interested in having a 'clean' and rational leader, but even if he overcomes that electoral hurdle, there are still the very difficult tasks of cleaning up corruption and putting the military back to the barracks and out of politics and business.<BR/><BR/>With Samak & Chavalit the people know what they will get (more of the same), but Abhisit is an unknown quantity, and IMO the country might not be ready for a real politician yet.hobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251478382712113226noreply@blogger.com
