Poe, the first majority President?

IF we are to believe a recent Bloomberg survey among analysts and bankers, first–time Sen. Grace Poe emerged as the choice to lead the country as President of the Republic come 2016. From among the 23 surveyed, 12 voted for Poe, three for Vice President Jojo Binay and four for Interior Secretary Mar Roxas.

That must be heartwarming. To be leading in almost all if not all surveys. But it can also be pressure on the senator. Surely she must be thinking already will I be able to handle the country’s gnawing problem of jobless growth, overpopulation, climate change, food security, the elusive peace in Mindanao and now, China’s relentless pursuit of disputed territories?
