I am actually in that district.  I was actually a bit surprised she
didn't make
it through on the proportional ballot.  Not that I *wanted* her to or
anything.
I was just handicapping the election (didn't do so well.)  Figured she
would
have possibly pulled in the the Koumei vote as we seem to have a
number
of Soukagakkai in the neighbourhood but no Koumei candidate.  Lots of
Ohta posters ((now) former head of Koumei) that will probably go away
real
soon.

The guy that beat her, Tezuka, got a LOT of respect from me because he
ran on a platform of "NO SENKYO CAR" which meant no loud speaker,
unlike Yukari-chan who was going up and down the street even kind of
bleeding over the 8 PM cut-off time one night.  At least I think it
was her car.
I almost went to go give chase to the thing and complain about
election
rules violations.

Tezuka-san also walked passed my house doing his quiet appeal thing
with some supporters in yellow T-shirts.  They saw me looking out the
window and waved so I waved back.  If we hadn't had company, I might
have chased him down for a hand shake and ask him his opinion on
furriner
voting (he is apparently FOR it.)  Maybe next time.

Do you mean Fukuda or Hosoda?  Pretty sure they both got in.  Or do
you mean someone else entirely?

Suzuki Muneo got back in as did that wench Tanaka Makiko who pulled
a "let's change parties" manuevre.  She probably would have it in any
way
but being on the winning side will probably mean she will be able to
hog
more air time and shoot her mouth off again.  Maybe even land another
cushy cabinet post.
