Looks like the father of all by-election battles, the Permatang Pauh by-election, has kicked off last night.

Report from Bernama:

Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he will definitely contest in the by-election for the Permatang Pauh parliamentary seat even if he were to be locked up behind bars.

He said that his intention to contest had never been deterred no matter what the circumstances were to achieve his objective of taking over Putrajaya.

........Anwar said the question of his wife, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, betraying the Permatang Pauh electorate by resigning as the member of parliament for the constituency should not arise because she had explained from the beginning that she would make way for her husband as soon as he was eligible to contest.

Several Pakatan Rakyat leaders who were present at the ceramah, including PAS vice-president Datuk Husam Musa, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng and PKR president Dr Wan Azizah, also spoke at the function.

I must thank Anil Netto for driving home two remarkable points reflecting the mood of the people in anticipating the by-election.

The first one is the capture of the crowd sitting there listening to the ceramah. 15,000 of them:
