"If you look at Reagan and Ford, they pulled themselves up from their bootstraps...
Thailand has often been looked upon as a bellwether for the development of democracy in Southeast Asia, and on the surface at least, Sunday's largely fair and trouble-free national election - Thailand's first since a September 2006 military coup - seemed to be a good sign. The country's political troubles, however, may be far from over...
