McCain seen as Republican choice
If anyone bothers to learn about the rise and fall of the political honeymoon of the just retired ex-President of South Korea, you will be astounded. President Roh was elected in 2002 by astonishing landslide. A relative new comer and novice administrator, Roh was supported mainly by enthusiastic young voters who were dying for "change" of all the old systems and old politics. Roh promised hope for change. They young supporters used all kinds of digital methods to urge each other to vote and spreading the message to all others to go out to vote. He won. The "conservatives" were shocked. He employed lots of so nicknamed "boy scouts" for his inner circle, all wide-eyed idealists who vowed to turn Korea upside down, inside out by trying to make changes. The result was miserable. Roh was even abandoned by his own ruling party which itself split into two different parties.

Sims says Sonics may leave, but NBA here to stay
RON SIMS HAS not talked lately with Clay Bennett, nor has he been in touch with the NBA. But as the King County executive who endured stadium-extortion attempts from Major League Baseball, as well as the National Football League, he knows a little about sports business and the Seattle rich-guy crowd. So when he says there's virtually no chance that the Sonics will remain in Seattle beyond the expiration of their KeyArena lease in 2010, the man has some credibility on the topic. When he says he has met with members of three separate potential Seattle ownership groups, all known to the National Basketball Association, who said they are willing to buy a team and contribute to a new arena while seeking to retain the Sonics name, that also has some credibility.
