Japan's First Female Prime Minister

As Palin may become the first female Vice President of US, the first female Prime Minister may appear in Japan as well.

Yuriko Koike, a former television news presenter, launched her campaign with a promise to rejuvenate the world's second-largest economy if she is selected to replace Yasuo Fukuda, who resigned last week after just a year in office.

She is the first woman to seek the leadership of the LDP, which has seen its popularity eroded after five decades of near continuous rule. She faces stiff competition from three other candidates, including front-runner and flamboyant party secretary General Taro Aso, for the party vote on September 22.

Will she win the election on September 22?

    I don't think so... it will be some ways before the general public accepts a female prime minister.
