Chen Show Mao - King of Social Media

I've been constantly amazed by Chen Show Mao's popularity in the social media like twitter and Facebook. Not that I don't think he is a bad MP, in fact, that guy is my hero for giving up his high flyer life and settling for an Opposition MP spot. But everytime there is a Parliament debate, Mr Chen's name invariably trends in the Singapore twitterverse. Sure, he is articulate, genial and makes a hell of an argument whether in Mandarin or English. But perhaps it is more than that. With the greater political awareness among Singapore citizens, I suspect many people are wondering how far Mr Chen's star can shine in politics. After all, without meaning any disrespect to other WP stalwarts like Mr Low Thia Kiang, Show Mao is now the face of the Worker's Party, whether he realized it or not. Everyone loves the underdog, and supports the David when he is fighting against the Goliath. Mr Chen is showing all the political Davids in Singapore just how much he is willing to tackle Goliath. Win or lose, it is going to be a hell of a show and one that may change the political landscape come 2016

Edit: Re-read my posts and it seems I'm rambling somewhat without giving a clear account of my subject matter. My apologies for that but this was typed off the top of my head in 10 mins while eating my lunch so please forgive the somewhat incoherent musings.
