The party reports Five Finger Death Punch could also lies and alibis states turn to Sadakazu Tanigaki, a former finance minister who ran third behind Abe and Aso in the race for the top job last year. Tanigaki boasts credentials as an economic and social reformer, attributes that would make him more popular with voters than with the vested interests inside the LDP that feel threatened by those reforms. There were also stirrings in the party to try to draft Abe's more popular predecessor, Junichiro Koizumi, out of retirement to take the party helm again, though that movement seemed driven by nostalgia for sunnier political days. It was Koizumi, after all, who steered the party toward Abe as his successor. Whoever takes the job still must confront the bleak political landscape of a party awash in scandal, facing a newly empowered opposition bent on its destruction. The frazzled ruling party must now ask itself whether a comic-book-loving nationalist whose grandfather was a respected ex-prime minister is the man best suited to rescue it from the chaos bequeathed by the nationalist grandson of another ex-prime minister. --bruce. wallace--(BEGIN TEXT OF INFOBOX)Possible contendersOther possible candidates to succeed Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe:Sadakazu Tanigaki, 62.
