While John has his views, my views are, perhaps, slightly different, and you can find them here.
I think there are only a few things we can assume.
1. Joseph Estrada valued his freedom more than the desire of others for him to make a martyr of himself by willingly seeking out imprisonment in New Bilibid.
2. The President obviously thinks her Edsa Dos constituency will grin and bear it, complain but in the end stick it out with her, or if they finally leave her now, it doesn’t matter.
3. The long Nov. 1 & 2 holidays might dissipate political energy enough so that the resumption of hostilities with the reopening of Congress on Nov. 5 will mean momentum will have to be built up again, instead of barreling along the way it has.
Meanwhile you may be interested in the debate Dean Jorge Bocobo and I are having in the comment section of his blog, over Joker Arroyo and the Inquirer’s story on that controversial senate executive session with Romulo Neri.

No need for a “charismatic” leader for a replacement, these has been the folly of our nation for quite some time. First thing first … As the current leadership has gone to the dogs, its time for them to leave and a Snap election be put into place.

i agree w/ clipmaster’s comments…i cannot see a charismatic leader from the opposition…isama na si lacson, jamby, biazon, noynoy na ang layo sa tatay nya….
when i was young the likes of tañada, diokno, roxas, ninoy, and so many others charmed us w/ their wit, intelligence and vision and charisma too.
do you see these qualities in the opposition?
nada, nil, nothing….it is so frustrating! wala silang sinabi….
