......sawa sawa brother brother, hapana iko shida......it's only that just like the other people who did not respond to the topic at hand, you committed the same crime in your response above!!!!!!!

Finally someone who makes sense. Someone with an argument that I can objectively respond to.
I dispute your claims about Gatundu wholeheartedly for I know something that you don't.
Let me find my evidence against this Gatundu claim and I will present it momentarily.
About Linturi, Maoka, Mbugua and Kenneth. What can I say. I see the point you are trying to raise but in my view those four characters are political dead weights.
Kenneth will grace the next parliament and this only if he runs for the Presidency as he has stated before.
If he doesn't run for the Presidency and doesn't support whoever will be running with the Kikuyu vote he is dead in the water.
He will become another Tuju.
The other three don't even need us to waste our time discussing them.
These guys will do that which will ensure they land back in parliament. It doesn't matter in which party they will end up. All that matters to them is that they return to parliament.
Their paltry dozen votes could never make a difference in an election. How many constituents can these three people even wield.
It is too meager to necessitate a discussion from civil individuals such as the two of us.
Mbugua actually risks loosing his seat if he were to go against the Kikuyu grain.
Those inclined to point to the son of Jomo as the mastermind of the economic hurdles that the country faces are actually misinformed.
I cite the 'Economic report on Africa 2011' by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa as my point of reference.
The document on page 32 outlines what it calls the 'four crises' as Kenyas Economic hurdles. These are post-election violence,
food, energy and drought.
Contrary to popular belief the Commission actually says that Kenya overcame these and that the country is actually doing better than in 2008.
How then can we blame the son of Jomo for these four hurdles.
PEV was caused by those who called for 'mass action'. People will argue this but facts are facts.
The Energy crisis is part of Bush's legacy whereas food and drought are intertwined and definitely not Uhuru's doing.
I'm sure you were pulling at straws when you said this one: wavering support in the homeground
The equation is simple:
If Uhuru runs for Presidency the Kikuyu will back him unwaveringly. Kenya has not changed overnight and tribal lines will be followed to the letter during elections.
Martha and Kenneth have no chance whatsoever if Uhuru runs.
If he doesn't run then I admit, he will get no votes. it' as simple as night and day.
If Raila runs almost all (an overwhelmingly large number) of Luo votes will be his. I don't need to further this point.
Ruto's game is as clear as day. The ,media have tried to throw controversy on this one but Ruto has spent the last almost 10 days calling the media outright liars.
It has been on TV everyday over the last (almost) 10 days and unless you disagree I won't bother putting links to videos showing this from all over the web.
I will get you the facts concerning the Gatundu development record momentarily.
If I just state what I know, for I have actually been there, you will just disagree so let me get you a link to a CDF report and we will see what you will say about that.

And from http://www.nation.co.ke/.../-/qmqt4mz/-/index.html

"...findings released by Synovate, a research firm, indicates the PM is still the most preferred presidential candidate with 38 per cent of Kenyans saying they would vote for him if elections were held today.

Mr Odinga’s rating stood at 48 per cent in October.

The PM is followed by Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta at 18 per cent, Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka (13 per cent) and William Ruto (eight per cent).

Others are Gichugu MP Martha Karua (six per cent) and Saboti MP Eugene Wamalwa (three per cent). Deputy PM Musalia Mudavadi, National Assembly Speaker Kenneth Marende and Gatanga MP Peter Kenneth garnered one per cent each."

You need to learn how to present good arguments.
I will use your own post against you.
Raila has 38%, well and good.
Calculate what the three members of G7 have.
Simple mathematics:
18+13+8=39% not counting the other 4 members.
That is what is called a landslide victory.
By the way that is not my argument but an argument wielded by KTN's reporter Lulu Hassan when the polls came out.

I like Uhuru but I honestly think kyuks should seat out this elections as goodwill and back a forward thinking candidate from another ethnic. I'm not being tribal but realistic, I'm kyuk too and I know it's possible after all we didi it with the EA community, Kenya decided to back down and back the Rwandan candidate and we're all happy, ama?
