5. Yoshiro Mori, 72-ish, ex-PM: "The DPJ must believe anyone is fine. That's why it put up a candidate who says nothing and only waves her hand," he said, referring to his 33-year-old rival, Mieko Tanaka. "We'd all be better off if that's all you did, you pompous prick," Our Man said.
4. Yasuo Fukuda, 72-ish, another ex-PM - this one wimpier than most, up against TV reporter Yukiko Miyake, 44. An official in his camp said, "He is truly desperate. It would be miserable for a former prime minister to be defeated by a novice candidate who is a complete stranger (to this constituency)." "Miserable? It would be fuckin' magic," Our Man said.
3. Kaoru Yosano, 72-ish, the pocket-lining new Finance Minister who replaced...
2. Shoichi "you're-my-beshhht-mate-you-arrrrre" Nakagawa, you remember, he got pissed up at a G7 press conference and wandered off and sat on a statue in the Vatican (actually, Our Man has a soft spot for him).
1. Taro "Mr Charisma" Aso, current PM, descended from a long line of tossers, blessed with the ability to simultaneously insult the electorate accidentally and intentionally.
Ahhh, Our Man can dream...

With his condition, Nakagawa was in no position to determine whether he could handle that post or not. The blame really doesn't lie with him, but with his so-called friend Aso who appointed him for internal political reasons, knowing full well he was an alcoholic.
The prediction right now is that the DPJ will actually win more seats than they have people running to fill them. I wouldn't have thought that possible but if all their candidates win in the single seat constituencies they they are running in, the party may not have enough people on it proportional representation list to fill all the seats it wins there.
JM - either way, it'd be fun to watch him lose.
Rev. - that would be very fun, although the logistics of it hurts Our Man's head.
