If Lee Myung-bak were to left alone with more than 50% support, he will run amok and ruin the S. Korean right thoroughly, just as Roh Moo-hyun did for the S. Korean left. Lee Hoi-chang will serve as an ready alternative, the faithful right free of corruption and blatant opportunism.
Many conservatives assail him for being a divisive force and a power-hungry old man, but his role has been quite constructive so far.
Thank you for that assessement. That does seem to be the case. We often have to keep even people on the RIGHT, honest.
