September 21, 2007. Volume 03; Number 34Click here for a transcript of this program.Thanks for dropping by again. This week coming to you from the Mobile Studio camped on the shore of Lake Thurmond. Our program is a bit longer. But we've got a lot to consider! We take a careful look at the "campaign" for the LDP presidency waged all week by Yasuo Fukuda and Taro Aso. What's happening, and the significance of this important event for Japan's domestic politics overall. Then we consider the "scandal scandal" that I've been discussing for the past few week. And the importance of genuine political reform for the credibility of Japan's electoral politics.
