I will probably research them more as we get closer to the election. What I do know is that the GNP uses a relatively closed system in which the nominee is chosen in a convention of party faithful. The recent nomination of Oh Se-hoon is illustrative. He got the nomination at a convention. The vote was 20% from party officials (what Americans would call super-delegates), 30% from dues-paying party members, 30% from the general public and 20% based on public opinion polls. I have no idea how they chose which members of the general public can participate. They have a similar convention system for the GNP nomination for President, which favors Park Geun-hye. She and Lee Myung-bak are neck-and-neck in the polls but Park's election as party leader shows her strength among the party's leadership. She is also stronger in the South-east, which holds more GNP elected officials, while Lee is stronger in the Seoul area. Lee has been advocating for a primary system similar to the one that President Roh used to get the Democratic Party nomination in 2002. That is what I have right now. I certainly hope to know more by the end of the year. Gizmo,

I don't know which party it was, but it would be a perfect theme song for Uri or the DLP who seem to live in a socialist dreamworld (not that the GNP doesn't live in their own fantasy world).

I'm looking to understand how the nomination process works for the presidential candidate for the GNP. When is it? How is organized? Whats the process like - delegates, direct-vote, one ballot system or second runoff? etc. Who's better position? Thanks.

The Democrats are leading in Gwanju and South Jeolla. An independent is barely ahead in Jeju. As for your question, I think the map in <a href="http://gopkorea.blogs.com/flyingyangban/2006/05/handicapping_th.html" rel="nofollow">this post</a> at my blog tells you all you need to know (although I think the Uri candidate in Daejeon is a popular incumbent).  Haisan,

Also, Kang Kum-Sil (running for Seoul mayor with the Uri Party) proposed to the bigwigs in Pyongyang that a traditional yearly football match between Seoul and Pyongyang disrupted by the war be reinstated--she's not even the mayor yet (and hopefully won't be) and she's already sucking up to the norks.

Thank f**king god!!! I look forward to the day when those f**king campaign music blaring piece of sh*t trucks stop waking me up at seven in the morning.
