Villar after GMA? Your guess is as good as mine!









It looks like it's presidentiable Villar after President GMA! From a simple meta-analysis, the current strategy of Villar is gaining momentum under a multi-party system such as this 2010 elections. Why I say so?

Think of a continuum - an administration candidate on one end, and the opposition on the other. From the surveys, it seems Noynoy is at the end of the pole, the Opposition, along with Erap, another strong opposition candidate. And of course, Gibo is obviously the administration candidate. From my (own) discernment, Villar tends to be in the administration side, yet, he does not express it perhaps as part of his strategy. So does Gordon. Both are neither in the administration nor opposition. Such tendency seems to favor Gibo as administration-leaning voters tend to solidify. ( I will not be surprised if Gibo make it afterall!)
Opposition's strategy of putting down the administration tend to backlash at Noynoy as opposition itself is tend to be polarized.

Between Gibo and Villar, both have resources, but again, in my perspective, private sector is richer than the government.. But the government has the machinery in place.

Between Erap and Noynoy, opposition-leaning voters are definitely in a quandary. Both bank, somehow, on Tita Cory's post-mortem popularity (see Erap's infomercial highlighting Tita Cory's asking forgiveness).

Regardless, it is still the 4 presidentiables' game. But, in my opinion, Villar has the edge. (30)
