It is over.

No one I talk to takes Chung “ding-dong” seriously. When even cab drivers diss’ you, then you have no street value.

This morning’s paper has the two-man raced billed as “Economy vs Peace.” That really makes me angry, SK jucheists are for surrender not peace.

I don’t know why y’all are so down on Moon Hee-sang. Whenever I think of back-room politics, I can’t help but think of Moon sucking a stogie and padding down his well-greased hair.

I’m with Brendon and Sonagi, though sans the slime on reptiles.

Actually, I have seen hippopatami with smaller heads than Moon Hee-sang’s, but let’s not be mean…

wjk, I remember that 2% and was wondering the same thing. I hope you’re right.

ps: If they elect on looks, we’re in trouble.

Moon Hee-sang wins the Ugliest Korean Government Reptile award, hands down.

they’ve done the worst they could have possibly done.

Minju comes up with Lee In Jae. That guarantees some anti-votes, as Konglish goes, in southeast Korea. What did this guy have, like 1% national support?

Chung Dong Yong, means going lefter than the left now. Wow, good job. A man who has been getting less than 2% support nationally manages to be the top dog in the race. A fixed race, at that.

Bank it. Lee Myung Bak, Next Republic of Korea President.

The collective opposition has too many individual pipe dreams to realistically pose a 1:1 challenge. It’s over.

Re: Lee Hae-Chan the "ugliest man on the face of the planet". I call bullshit! First of all, I am almost 70% certain Lee Hae-Chan is not a man, but a reptile, which means he cannot be qualified in the ugliest man sweepstakes. But also, there is the issue of Moon Hee-Sang. How can Lee Hae-Chan be the ugliest man (or reptile) on the face of the planet with Moon around?

Last I saw, Chung also supports the FTA, although he seems to have hedged his bet a little by saying it should be dealt with after the election.

I do agree that Lee can still lose this thing but voters are so ready to change course that it would take more than some graffes to stop him.

Good thing: pro-Roh leftists are now virtually powerless, now that Lee Hae-Chan (literally the ugliest man on the face of this planet) has lost the primaries.

Bad thing: Chung DY is even bigger an asshole than Roh. At least Roh came to senses when it came to *really* important subjects such as KOR-US FTA.

But, despite even this, I doubt Lee MB is a shoo-in just yet. Considering constant gaffes he has made throughout the campaign (some vulgar, some sexist, some just plain dumb) and the leftists’ expertise in mudslinging (a la Kim Dae Up who brought down Lee Hoe-Chang in 2002) I wouldn’t be surprised if his candidacy just collapses upon itself.
