300 or more seats...

It is just not working out to get more information posted for folks on this, so here's the summary:

This election was all about emotion, not reason, and the results reflect that.

DPJ (the so-called "Democrats") wins the day. they may well have over 300 seats out of the Lower House's 480.

This is likely 'what we are getting' come tomorrow: The world as seen by a Hatoyama Premiership.

"We are so screwed" does not even begin to cover what is about to be.

h/t to M. Goldfarb over at The Weekly Standard for pointing out Y. Hatoyama's Op-Ed piece.

How likely is the LDP to view this as a result of policy failure rather than the Prime Minister's personal failure?
