The flags of Yudhoyono's Democratic Party, the Prosperous Justice Party, the National Mandate Party, the National Awakening Party, and several other parties are evenly scattered and waved across the stadium.

I think it not too important for the prsident candidate to gather many people in one place. it is no to effective, but only by TV they can show their Vision and mission, indonesian now at home has a TV so they only know By TV.Indonesian people is no stupid anymore. they are able to choose which one is the best.I only choose the president who say," Indonesia Must get out from the IMF and I will pay back a loan, we surely out from the IMF". Who the president bravely say like that? I will choose you.
