Re: Is the tide about to turn against Zardari?
During the recent elections the PPP had a great deal of sympathy votes due to the assasination of BB. Whereas NS was thinking about boycotting the elections and only decided to take part at the last minute and still did very well. The PP didn't do as well as expected despite the sympathy vote and NS did a lot better than expected.
If there are elections held soon then I think NS would do even better for his principled stand on the judges issue. People have had an opportunity to get slightly better acquainted with Zardari and his future plans as well and aren't too impressed..the honeymoon period will soon be over.
Exactly, I was, until a few months ago thinking the PML[N] was done for, but it staged a huge comeback despite the fact that the top leadership was outside, the uncertainty of the participation, alliances not working out, being out of power for nearly a decade, the Qaaf/lota league split, but I must say they did great. In my recent trip to the province of Punjab, its very evident even from walking in the streets that PML[N] is the only major party that the people support. If Musharraf is ousted, I am pretty sure the next move up NS's sleeve would be to get a reelection, but lets hope he doesnt go that route PROVIDED the dictator and his croonies are trashed.
