R. Elgin saw it correctly.

I saw it incorrectly.

Chosun’s Han Nara fans are treating him just like Lee In Jae.

Hanara has a real problem and I do not think many of their alleged leadership understand just how serious it is. They may win this upcoming election, but they can not survive the social and economic erosion they have allowed to occur, through time, in South Korea.

They need to transfigure themselves in short order, and in a serious manner, into people with a social and economic agenda or they will be history.

i still remember what Lee In Jae said when he bolted at the last minute, to paraphrase,

“Roh is too socialist, I tried to ally with him, but our political ideals are nowhere even close. This is a dangerous man.”

I think it was something like that.

Roh cried that the upperclass-pro Japanese-pro US forces trying to tank the self made man.

I think Roh after the election pressed criminals charges on Lee In Jae over the BS political corruption charge. Along with countless other perceived enemies AND allies.

40% of South Koreans think Han Nara will split.

Lee In Jae was a good politician in his own right.

He was just hated because he messed with the Kim Dae Jung business.

Lee In Jae from the beginning ditched Roh Moo Hyun right before elections, because he already realized by that point that Roh was a crazy, crazy head, borderline commy.

Sort of like a political prophet.

No one likes him now, because he dared to pull a US equivlant of a Ross Perot or a Ralph Nadar.

Will Sohn pull the same move?

I think he wants to, but this time Lee Myung Bak will convince him not to. Who will bolt?

It’s going to be Park Geun Hye.

But, this time, Lee Myung Bak will win, unlike Lee Hoi Chang.
