My comment: Since Christmas, I have had to move to yet another library, whose public computers can only read English. So I do not have much information to work with. I do not know why Ma is re-elected--possibly nor does Taiwan's opposition.

("Of the estimated 400,000 Taiwanese expatriates in the Bay Area, roughly 800 were expected to fly back for the election, said Manfred Peng, press director with San Francisco's Taipei Economic and Cultural Office")
My comment: There is no need to read the rest. |
