The adult is the “Comeback Kid”

The big-name pundits are now having fits with Mr. Binay’s recent rise in the polls. How could the presidential candidate they have labeled as “The Crook” bounce back so rapidly – after few months in the doldrums of political polling . They have written his political obit, how could they go wrong. As the self-proclaimed gatekeepers of integrity, the big-name pundits have a supreme belief in their holier-than-thou posturing.

The misery of the pundits is actually a double whammy. As the pundits’ favorite swings between 3rd and 4th in the polling, with a remote chance of gaining real ground, the candidate they detest is now back as the polling leader. They are probably tortured by this question. How can “The Crook” be favored over the torch bearer of the “Daang Matuwid” legacy? Can’t the people get it?
