This wouldn't be my dream team, but I think they'll be stable enough to last as long as Fukuda. Actually, Andy, in an aside I had to edit out of the show, Adam mentioned that Aso has some game, but that he couldn't get behind the guy - there were too many things he didn't like. He said he preferred Fukuda. A PM Aso would give us more to talk about, though.

Took me a bit to finally get to this one, sorry about that. Sounds like you guys were pretty down on the new Cabinet - wondering how long you guys think it will last?
