We might see the conservative votes split, which might be enough to give the liberals a victory. Andy Jackson, good point.

Short version; the GNP had better open its nominating process some or Lee Myung-bak may very well 'pull a Rhee In-jae.' The fall of Uri does not mean that there is any kind of consensus for a more conservative government. Most Koreans just know that they don't want lefty ideologues anymore. Despite Goh Kun's weakness in the polls (now a constant third after Lee and Park Geun-hye), he positioned perfectly to pick up the pieces of Korea's fractured left without tying himself too close to Uri.

And the Democratic Labor Party will be busted with recent arrest of a former member violating South Korea's anti-communist National Security Law. So Korea will be turning back to old-fashioned of geographical division of political party, not by political ideology. Furthermore, Active 386 Generation, lost most of its ideological voices in centeral stage again. Yes

Most of them spent their college years, violently demonstrating first, against Chun Doo Hwan, then Rho Tae Woo, then Kim Yong Sam. Even when Kim Yong Sam's government came to power in a fair democratic election, these Uri leaders were throwing molative cocktails at 20 year old military conscripts. They were pro-North Korean, anti-South Korean government and anti-American. Now that they came to be the power - this is their fruit of labour.

There is the chance it was aimed in the wrong direction. Perhaps Hanarah will split after nominations, with Lee taking the center and Park taking the far right. If this hapnes, we better hope that Minju has a resurgence on the left, or we'll be stuck with these Uri suckers for another 5 years. Your prediction may be off m8.
