I read somewhere that financially and realistically, Choong Chung province got more govt money during Kim Dae Jung and No Moo Hyun.

Park Chung Hee, Jun Doo Hwan, Roh Tae Woo, Kim Yong Sam, they didnt’ do much for Choong Chung Do. Maybe Dae Jeon Expo, you could argue Kim Yong Sam made Dae Jeon into the science hub of Korea, but there’s a reason why Choong Chung Do played the deciding factor for Kim Dae Jung and Noh Moo Hyun, in addition to the false promise of setting up the new capital in Choong Chung, which the Han Nara people shut down.

DJ’s son’s eyes gives me the creeps.

The extreme supports for DJ Sunsang-Nim couldn’t be vanished in Jolla mingook. I would like to serve a cup of WTF tea to every single Muan-Shinan people who voted for DJ Junior. It was also sad and disgusted to see 85-years old mother asking “a sympathetic vote” for DJ Junior.

Go ahead and buy the PS3 or the X box. You’re just buying an advanced version of what’s already out there.”

As opposed to the Wii, which is almost exactly the same version of what’s out before, but with a funky controller attached. Can’t argue with the price though.

Jon Stewart has 1/20th the vote of Colbert? I always thought he was more popular than his spinoff, guess I was wrong.

What a joke!

I voted for the Nintendo guy.

The Nintendo Wii is so kick-ass-cool.

Go ahead and buy the PS3 or the X box. You’re just buying an advanced version of what’s already out there.

The Wii lets you bowl, bat, throw, and the latest gimick I saw was playing guitar. So flat out cool.

Kinda hope he wins. Then everyone will exclaim: “Who?”

. . . The only real threat to the GNP right now is the GNP itself.

Man, is that ever so true. Not only has the GNP not re-invented their platform but they are beginning to backslide into the same antics that helped propel the current president into power. If they do not truly make themselves anew, they will end up just like the Uridang — feckless and outdated.

Well said. Elgin and Jackson.

I wonder if anyone thought about tracking how Independants eventually end up.

They’re only really independent because they couldn’t get the gongchungwon, so their real desire to begin with in the majority of cases is to be part of HanNara or their opposing party.

So, my question is, how long does it take before these Indys suddenly become a party member? 1 year, 2 years, 3?

I never bothered to track any of them, but I doubt they finish their terms as Indys, like they are supposed to, from the viewpoint of the voters.

I mean during every Presidential election, there’s a flux of people changing parties anyway. In Korea’s case, simply to counter Han Nara.

Like someone said in another Korean board, it may come down to a 50-50 contest once again, which the map of South Korea resembling a East West split. Whoever wins Sudogwon, wins.

There was apparently some bribery and other monkey business by the GNP prior to the bye-election, same old same I guess.
