Herein lies the Achilles heel of the opposition. No Thaksin's to be found, Abhisit/Dems installing Thaksin like social programs all adds up to no win at the polling booths for opposition. Dem strategy is clear. Get populist programs in place then call elections and campaign on how much the Dems have done for the electorate. Will it overcome the historical distaste for the Dems in North and Northeast? Time will tell but wouldn't surprise me.
