RO's correct choice of a running mate in 2012 might be what will make or break his ambitions to be president. Let's be honest here, it has to be a kyuk. A Lunje would have worked since getting a Kale is not possible now but Lunjes are too segmented, Eugine, Wetangula, Kombo, Mudavadi, Jirongo, Bifwoli....

How I see it, the only hope RO has is ONLY Peter Kenneth agrees to be his running mate. What are your thoughts?

Disclaimer: Now before you accuse me of being tribal just remember the profile of the Kenyan voter whose vote really counts and it's not mine or yours.

Please note that the current politics of MLIMA kenya are not favourable to Peter Kenneth Huko mashinani he is being discredited left right centre. I dont think Kikuyus will vote RAO because of PK. Infact PK is being viewed as a TRAITOR by the community. Choosing a running mate from western kenya will not be right as other kenyans will not accept power to be concentrated in western Kenya and Nyanza. Things are ngumu for RAILA.

At the risk of being lynched, have they ever voted for any other community?

my thoughts is;
For Raila to succeed,he has to get a running mate from Eastern part of Kenya (this includes central,NEP,Coast and the like) since Nyanza is in Western part,but all in all,i think the guy has lost in big time and NO people in Eastern part of kenya have confidence in him coz of his frequent change of goal posts.
Also,the Eastern part people (especially central) believe that Raila will revenge against what he keeps on saying traditional injustices against the Luo people.This is what makes him very unpopular and i do not think he has enough time to prove himself beyond that Eastern mentality.

My own observation is if Ocampo case will be thrown out before August 2012,UK and WR will have it big tyme as President and Deputy respectively and they know this because of the masses they are commanding.
