ang dumi ng trapo!

he handled the red cross volunteers hostage situation badly, he was practically opposing all the effort and plans of the AFP.

the way he handled that is a strong sign that he, if elected as president, could be another commander-in-cheap like pGMA...

Elaborate if you can please!

24 names - in the last senatorial race, voters were supposed to write down 24 names. Or was it 12? Can't recall for sure. But regardless of the nos., if a candidate had decent poll ratings, the law of probability puts him in a greater chance to be part of the 24 (or 12).
Hitler and Ali - captured the imagination of the people. Hilter's yabang was inspirational to the Germans of that era. Ali's bravado was amusing. Gordon's is neither, hence he doesn't capture people's imaginations, based on poll nos.
Pro or anti-GMA - he's an admin senator. What other elaboration do you need? But as 4wrider pointed out, he turns off even his allies, kaya wala siya sa admin ticket. Imagine, the admin party imported Gibo from the NPC, supposedly an opposition party, overlooking Gordon the ally who was already prisintado even before Teodoro declared his intentions.

He can spring into action during calamities fast due to his experience with SBMA/Pinatubo and Red Cross but as a politician; However, when i go to Zambales and talk to some parties over there, i've been getting the feedback that this guy is one hellava trapo and does have his share of kickback and vested interests.

maybe he just mixed up the number we only votes 12 Senators during elections...
Hitler, who will oppose Hitler during that time. while Ali has the angst but he's just an athlete. and not a politician...both of their angst can't be compare to Gordon's.

he was pro then anti then pro then anti then now I don't know...

no difference from Joker Arroyo, when the Kampi party bankrolled his candidacy last election, naputol na bigla yun dila at wala ng sinasabi kahit anong issue against the admin..nakalimutan na yun election slogan niya "pag bad ka, lagot ka!"

anyway, unless the earth knock off from it's axis then Gordon, doesn't stand a chance to win in the Presidentail election.

bakit pareho sila ni Bayani Fernando? parehong delusional na mananalo sa PResidential election, eh pareho naman nasa kangkunang sa survey. ulitmo sariling party nila hinde sila pinapansin.

Good observation and feedback Shadow and Vinj!

Maybe natatakot Admin masilip or masisi ni Gordon or BF(in case they win) kaya si Gibo ang gusto nila na walang kaalam alam sa mga ginawa ni PGMA dahil bagong sali lang siya. Kung minsan pro minsan anti sila sa admin maybe the reason na hindi sila sinuportahan, baka ilabas nila mga maling nagawa ng admin once President na sila.

Gordon has apparently alienate his former allies with his bullheadedness aka political will. Gibo, on the other hand, has managed to spring to the top the administration party from practically out of nowhere. Although, for sure he is not Gloria's personal choice he was able to get the admiration and approval of the his new partymates.

Personal amiability is what Gordon should have cultivated but did not causing him to lose even his natural political allies. And this is what is needed for a minority president (whoever will be elected) to get the support of the majority. Gordon is like a male version of GMA, personally obnoxious. But the big difference is that GMA was able to project herself as a la Aunor (Ate Guy) to the masses - usually typecast as "api". However, it is this lack of personal appeal that compelled GMA to buy the "loyalty" of her "allies", this is political patronage par excellance.

Shadow, thanks for pointing out. My bad. There are 24 senators but only 12 are voted in every 3 yrs. Like I said, because a voter writes 12 names on the ballot, those w/ good standing in the ratings stand a good chance of making it.

In the case of Gordon, maybe what the ratings are telling him is that people can accept him as senator, but not as president. In the case of BF, he is an appointee, never elected by anyone to become MMDA chief. How can he even think that people would want to vote for him as pres? Yun ang ilusyon!
