Egyptians Ponder if 2011 Offers Chance for Change

VOAvideo | December 16, 2010 - Egypt is set to hold presidential elections toward the end of 2011, but so far no one has officially entered the race. Aides say President Hosni Mubarak, who has been in power for almost 30 years, will seek another six-year term, but the spotlight is also on his son, Gamal (Little Jimmy), a rising star in the ruling National Democratic party.
