Your comments on the separation of Vice President Jusuf Kalla (JK) and President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in the July presidential election after the Golkar Party decided to nominate JK as its presidential candidate.
Both JK and SBY are better than other potential candidates. All of this political maneuvering will make Indonesians understood that in politics, change can happen in an instant.
So Indonesians should use the opportunity to vote for the best candidate based on their ability, competency and their intention to help all Indonesians.

It will be very interesting if JK does not partner SBY because there will be more options and the vote will be split.
It is not good for voters if they are still together because there is no other pair who can compete with them. So I believe the people will now be enthusiastic to use their right to vote.

From SBY's final decision on his VP candidate, people can read between the lines whether SBY's decision is based on the best interests of the nation or full of political calculation just to win the election.

Jusuf Kalla made a good decision to divorce President SBY for the presidential election.
His decision gives the voters more than two choices for the presidential candidate. This is good for us.

I don't care about which politician will partner him, and probably most Indonesian people share my opinion. I can see that what is going on now is just a matter of prestige among these politicians.

After Kalla divorced SBY, the voters now have three colors to choose from - red, yellow and blue.

The president of my choice would still be SBY, because I simply can't think of anyone else more suitable for this position.
But it's time for this country to groom a younger generation to fill all the strategic posts after SBY.
More women should come forward, especially the ones with excellent credentials and no links to questionable pasts.
