"That young intelligent visionary has my vote"

The editor of Cairo's Campus Magazine has a telling endorsement in this week's issue. For those of you unfamiliar with Campus, it's a free, English language, weekly magazine targetting upper class Egyptian youth. It's almost all fluff, and almost never has anything remotely political. It calls itself "The voice of our generation." Writes the editor in this week's issue: "Anyone who knows me knows that I support Gamal Mubarak, the young, intelligent visionary definitely has my vote... assuming there is a vote."

Gamal is winning people over, convincing many in the crucial echelons of Egyptian society that he is the real deal, and the best choice for the future.
