I have serious doubts that she cared what district she was in. She made a big
deal in 2005 about "knowing what's best for Gifu", which is what ticked me off
more than anything else, because goddammit, *I've* been here longer than she
ever was. And I'd rather die than run for public office.

There are plenty of Soka Gakkai people (including my next-door neighbors) around
here, but it didn't appear to influence the vote either way. Seiko was hoping to
turn some of the former Hit Bitch votes back to her side, but the way I see it,
those Koizumi Orphan voters are pretty much lost for good.
