President's utility is most felt when the elections are close.
Battle will be for center in case of a fractured verdict in '09. <b>Biggest losers here are people like Pawar, Lallu Yadav, Karunaniddhi etc who, with this selection of SG loyalists have practically kissed their PM ambitions at center good bye.</b> I think it's the precise reason Lefties are still holding out (at state level they are pretty much well entrenched).

The bolded first part is what I am alluding to there are more ways to ensure these wont get a second chance. Wanna bet? SG's INC plays for keeps. Its not IG. What these folks in UNPA did was to bare there fangs without intention to fight. In jungle that is a no-no. So they will have to pay.
I think the biggest losers are the Indian public. These three are anyway shortimers in view of their advanced age and politcial standing.
I wish Pawar & Lallu could be made to eat crow for insulting Kalam saab.
