And the region did not show 99% vote for only one candidate / party like Jeolla region. It is clear that the region strongly believes that DJ and Roh striped the region for almost 10 years and ultimately want to take back its vested interests. Other regions, except Jeolla, are also tired of idealistic Roh and Uri Dang. That's why Goh side is limiting himself by announcing his interests to take law makers from Uri Dang. Goh could only make it thru with an advantage of fights within GNP players.

I predict that he will get bashed around by political fighting and walk away with next to nothing. Goh is a bureaucratic paper pusher, nothing more.

Bballi-bballi and pipe dreams best prudence and caution in Korea once again.

The Gyeongsang area tends to split its votes more, so Goh could make inroads there if he can solidify his base enough to not have to mess with it. Of course, Sudogwon (I just learned that word) is the real prize. Goh is setting himself up as the opposition candidate to Lee or Park, so it is natural for him to work on the Jeolla-based parties.

Too bad Goh has to pick up any support from the Uri Party, although I guess some (a lot?) of the backbenchers you mentioned are a little less "progressive" than the leadership. Anyway, he does have to build a party from what's around. Thanks for the updates Mr. Jackson.

I wonder what kind of card he has for Kyungsang region. Mr. Goh is limiting his votes by recruiting lawmakers from the DP and Uri Dang. I wonder what kind of card he has for Kyungsang region.
