My comment: I disagree that DPP Chairwoman should be credited to the party's
reversal of fortune. I am not her fan from the beginning. In my view,
however, the real culprit is none other than Pres. Ma himself.

(The last paragraph: "But many Taiwanese are losing faith in Mr Ma,
particularly after the KMT had its second straight batch of election defeats
on Saturday, for three seats in the main congress.")
My comment: There is no need to read the rest of this report, which however,
explicitly identifies Pres. George W. Bush as responsible for the latest
Patriot missiles, not Pres. Obama.
