Sept 11: This is something I don’t understand. The brand Umno is already very much discredited. We know that. The PR people should welcome this misfortune. They should be elated and maybe celebrate by opening up some wine bottles (make sure you are not caught out lest you should face caning Islamic style) if Umno acts double stupid by shooting itself in the foot. It surely does so if it accepts Tan Sri Isa Samad as candidate.
The part I don’t understand is — if the selection of Isa as candidate indeed turns out true wouldn’t that be a boon for PR? Hence, why do I see comments flooding in assailing the possible choice of Isa as candidate? If I were a Pakatan fellow, I would say, let Umno drown in its own sputum. Why are you concerned with Umno making a blunder? Encourage them to make blunders. Each blunder they make, increases PR’s chances exponentially. No?

So much is at stake here.
My own thoughts about this are as follows.
