Kaun Banega Next Prez

UP elections seems to have an impact:
Sonia to broach President issue with new CM
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The BSP’s spectacular victory in Uttar Pradesh has narrowed the race for the presidential polls, putting the focus on a consensus candidate from the UPA who has the support of the non-NDA, non-UPA parties like the BSP and the Samajwadi Party. The moot question is: which way will Mayawati go. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The one man who looks like pulling away from the others is Pranab Mukherjee, the External Affairs Minister and the No.2 in the Union Cabinet. If the Left parties are to have a say, and they are so far the most active in consultations with the UPA on the issue, he could be the most acceptable from among the list of possible UPA candidates. The others in the race are Sushil Kumar Shinde and Karan Singh. Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee is a dark horse who could enter the fray in the event of a tie.

Meanwhile, Mamta propose Vajpayee as President
10 Janpath marg will freeze over before ABV becomes President.
Same if Amitabh Bacchan is in running (given Mulayam/Amar Singh's recent performance, it's a dead issue I guess)
