It's SBY & JK, not SBY-JK
Partai Demokrat, a party established by president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), claimed the incumbent would run for the second term in 2009 election with new partner as the vice president, The Jakarta Post reported today.
The party executive argued vice president Jusuf Kalla will likely run for presidency for Golkar Party, the biggest party in the House of Representative (parliament). He claimed SBY has screened out around 10 candidates for VP.
The early sign of break-up of SBY-JK, who won unanimous votes in 2004 election, appeared in the months of public debate over cabinet reshuffle and the Aceh peace deal signed in August 2005.

While JK formally denied his plan for presidency, most politicians believe Golkar would promote him as the chairman to compete with SBY.
It's still three years away. But people starts calculating the chances of SBY, JK, Megawati, and other possible candidates. And their respective VPs. What an early call from Partai Demokrat.
We have precedents already. Vice President Hamzah Haz decided to run for presidency when president Megawati chose Hasyim Muzadi as her running-mate in the 2004 election. And both lost the race to SBY-JK.

I don't see yet how JK would be able to gain the voices of the mass. He does not have the appeal like SBY does. People would see him as siding with the businessman and the powerful.
It is SBY that is viewed as having the ears of the people of Indonesia.
For sure, I would not vote for him..
