That’s what President Arroyo’s husband and other drumbeaters must be hoping for. They’re certainly busy these days trying to soften up the public to the prospect of a presidential change of mind come October or November.

It was also said that FPJ would have been willing to run in 2004 if his bosom buddy Joseph Estrada had done well as president. Well, we all know what happened to Erap.
