2010

• Based on the Feb. 2009 Pulse Asia presidential preference survey,
  Noli ranked first (19%), followed by Chiz (17%),
  Erap (16%), Manny (15%), then Loren (12%)
  
• Noli has yet to formally declare his intention to run
  but he has been consistently topping surveys since last year.
  Expect a reversal of his political fortune
  if he associates himself with Gloria.
  
• In text and in spirit, the Constitution bans Erap to run again as president.
  With that 16%, his anointment can boost the chances of another top contender.
  
• Manny only placed 4th in the national senatorial race in 2007.
  Does it indicate anything about his prospect in 2010?
  
• Loren's ranking continues to plummet.
  If it slides further, she shouldn't take her chances anymore.
  
• Chiz is just a hype.
  He's running on the singular platform of age.
  Call it chronocentrism.
