...tougher sell for her than for Obama. But this is not a struggle for the ideological soul of the party. It may, however, be a struggle for the party's demographic soul - older voters vs. younger, information-age workers vs. industrial and service workers, wine vs. beer.

...pick up a few pairs at Maruji clothing store for herself and her friends back home in neighboring Saitama prefecture. "It's no good if it's not red," she says, as someone who wears them daily. "It keeps you warmer." As do the copious amounts of Japanese sake, beer and wine that stand out near the entrance to the local 7-11. One employee, Daisuke Fukumoto, says that retired men often drink outside while seated in Sugamo's plentiful rest areas, or take a tipple with them for the ride home.
