Fukuda up?
I wrote earlier that I wasn’t so sure about Aso becoming the next prime minister. The papers yesterday had lots to say about the LDP’s wrasslin’ match—particularly the evening sports rags, which were filled with exciting stuff from LDP faction bosses (Aso? Not on our watch) and Koizumi (”I am 100% certain that I won’t be running for the presidency,” a disappointing message for the Koizumi Children who are enjoying their first terms in the Diet courtesy of his expansive coattails).
No time to write much today, but there are good posts talking about Aso’s waning chances at the prime ministership and Fukuda Yasuo’s rising fortunes at Shisaku, Observing Japan, and GlobalTalk 21.
