Even the final result of Japan's LDP president election will not be announced until some 15 hours away, it seems Shinzo Abe, 51 years old, will be the winner and thus Japan's next Prime Minister.This forecast has been going on for a while, now even American media seems to favor Abe over Aso and Tanigaki in this 3 way race. In today's Washington Post arcicle, Abe is described as an avowed nationalist, and his slogan, Beautiful Japan, is to offer a Japan pride.
"I have a sense that the postwar generation of politicans in Japan-including Abe-have lost the older generation's sense of war guilt.", the arcitle quoted Takayoshi Miyagawa, a political strategist adn noted pacifist in Tokyo.
