Ok, it's pretty much a foregone conclusion who's going to win tomorrow. The only question is, by how much (percentage wise)?
This should post should not be taken as support for Lee in anyway. For entertainment purposes only. |

| That scandal dented him big time. My students probably aren't reliable on this, but they all claim he's toast. |

| I've only seen his face and no1's face in commercials. Even the news only covers his scandal. Bad or not, it's still coverage. I say by 20%. #2 then #1. |

I heard today from my middle-school kids that he will not win. I think them wrong...I'm down for '10%.'
Despite its dubious relevance to anything, I'd like to take this opportunity to paraphrase John Steinbeck.
"The reason socialism never really took off in America is that the working class don't view themselves as an oppressed majority. They look at themselves as temporarily inconvenienced millionaires."
While I don't think that's why socialism hasn't many adherents in South Korea, I think that's the main reason people are so supportive of a guy who is to all appearances a dishonest, business-first kind of candidate: they figure they'll get in on some of the sweetheart deals.
They're not small unsuccessful business owners, they're just temporarily underfunded chaebols... |

| I think the more appropriate question is how much will he and his lackeys, make in bribes, dodgy deals, insider trading, payoffs etc etc. |

| Who wins and by what margin really depends on whether the many disenfranchised voters decide to go to the ballots or not. |

Oh, that reminds me - I made an HILARIOUS joke the other day.
"What's the voting rate in your country?" a Korean teacher asked me.
I quickly responded: "Usually just one per person!"
How we laughed! |

| I predict he wins and his business partner who tried to rat him out mysteriously disappears from the country. |

No offense, but electing a moneymaking and competent thief is just plain retarded.
Good job, Korean Mr. Sparkles! |
