DPP candidates still need to do a better job at presenting a compelling vision for the future. I have read a few articles about Su and Tsai in the Liberty Times (not so much in the other papers) in which some very positive comments are being highlighted. But it is very early in the election season. Then, there is the problem with the South that you bring up. We will see what happens.Tommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552370490869601403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27168272.post-71453937245852037162010-06-26T10:45:08.058+08:002010-06-26T10:45:08.058+08:00Thanks, 阿牛.
@ Carlos,
What I and some of my frie...Thanks, 阿牛.<br /><br />@ Carlos,<br /><br />What I and some of my friends observe is that the entire situation is flowing toward DPP. This has been going on slowly for months, with a turning point after Tsai IW was re-elected as DPP chairperson with > 90% of the votes. She then announced her willingness to be the candidate of New Taipei City. The move then picks up the speed quickly. <br /><br />It's probably why the English community hasn't sensed this flow. It just comes too fast, hard to imagine the difference between now and 2 months ago.<br /><br />In contrary to DPP's rising popularity, KMT behaves headless, looks like none of them know what to do next, let alone laying out a vision and long term plan like Tsai EW has been doing. <br /><br />The drama has just began, though. There's no free ride for DPP. Although they are gaining momentum on the north, the integrity on the south 2 cities are facing tremendous challenge now. Although the situation is not clear now, there are some signs showing that green camp could split in both Tainan and Kaohsiung. <br /><br />I do believe that Tsai agreed to campaign for New Taipei without thinking the chance of presidency. No matter what, it's still too early to make conclusion. When we reach there, we will have a solution.Taiwan Echohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018124148446093746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27168272.post-41062228577007545462010-06-26T07:42:26.529+08:002010-06-26T07:42:26.529+08:00Wow.

To be honest, I'm skeptical because the KMT has usually been able to maintain support without working hard for it. Is the atmosphere really that different now?<br /><br />That's a pretty funny strategy for Hau's campaign. What if Tsai Ing-Wen does win? Would she really be unable to run for president, or is that just talk? If the only consequence is some criticism for quitting the mayoral position, I think she should still do it.Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079284428870214896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27168272.post-70355360478572567312010-06-26T04:07:03.620+08:002010-06-26T04:07:03.620+08:00Well written!Well written!阿牛https://www.blogger.com/profile/08403972286057197709noreply@blogger.com
