I have some doubt about the reliability of this article. It is shown briefly (one day) on both Donga and Chosun, but disappeared. It does not mean the story is a fabrication; it just does not have a follow-up for now. Most of these "type" of stories will appear after Rho is gone. Right now, Rho will do his best to stop tarnishing KDJ's reputation. Somehow, the main witnesses commit suicides. Go figure. All these charges and suicide cases will be throughly reviewed when Rho is gone. Some surprising and dark secrets about KDJ will come out. sanshinseon,

Talk about censorship in Korea. There is no telling what has been vetted at this point regarding the DJ article.

In fact there's no such story findable on Google News at all... What's up with that? Curious that the article (baduk) linked to above isn’t on the

Elgin Sat, 10 Jun 2006 04:34:16 +0000 http://www.rjkoehler.com/?p=2992#comment-37698 I've picked Goh Kun way before now and I still project him as the likely winner since most Koreans (bless them) have a very understandable survial instinct that would draw them to such a candidate. The other candidates have fatal flaws that will become more obvious as time passes. I think I will reserve a little red paint for Kim Dae Jung as well. *splat* I’ve picked Goh Kun way before now and I still project him as the likely winner since most Koreans (bless them) have a very understandable survial instinct that would draw them to such a candidate.

I beleive that Korea just very recently introduced absentee ballots.

Maybe some of you know some. I'm pretty sure they don't take or count votes at the US South Korean embassy. Or mail a vote. for example, i have never known of a Korean Yoo Hak saeng, foreign student, with no US green card, but intact South Korean citizenship known to vote in any South Korean election.

Park has no comparable governing experience or even a professional background, such as in economics or foreign policy. She only has been the propaganda, nostalgic face of the organization to gather regional interest and the woman's vote. She is in politics, and not the son of Park Jung Hee, because the son of Park Jung Hee is a recovering druggie. Park Geun Hye must step aside, and let Lee Myung Bak run the show versus Go Geun. I don't care who wins in that scenario. But I lean towards Lee Myung Bak. Hanara has to avoid the split within the party, and decidely abandone Park Geun Hye, go with Lee Myung Bak.

I've never personally seen a South Korean in the US ever get to vote. That South Korean would have to take a plane and land in South Korea to vote. That is my understanding of the matter.
