El Baradei for Egpyt? Can he do it?

Well just when Egypt laid low in terms of Foreign Affairs scandalous behavior, the newest self proclaimed political candidate, El Baradei, has created a political scandal. Dr. El Baradei Nobel Prize recipient and former director general at the IAEA, has proven to be a threat for President Hosni Mubarak's upcoming elections. Though he is 67 years old, he has succeeded in targeting himself toward younger and more culturally mainstream intellectuals in Egpyian society. Government programs that formerly shunned him and poked fun at him through the television medium now simply ignore him. However, he remains a star on independent television stations and independent written material. For current President Hosni Mubarak, this means that he will actually have to run for office (it must be nice...), because originally it was rumored that his son was being groomed to follow in his footsteps. The rumor was immedately crushed when it came to light that his credentials do not match those of Dr. El Baradei. Previously, Mr. Mubarak ran in single party "referendums" until he was "pressured (hmmm)" to run in a political election in 2005. Lets sit back and watch, this is going to be interesting, to say the least.
