I think you are right, he is quite a weak candidate. Not sure if he will manage to hold on with the help of the deep blue Taipei vote ... at the moment a lot of them are saying they will stay at home.<br /><br />However, a lot of the DPP attacks have missed the mark. Every night they were lining up on the talk shows clutching plants that they said were much cheaper at the flower market than the price the city government paid. But these attacks looked quite ridiculous when it was pointed out that that government contract price included transporting the flowers to the venue, planting them, and then keeping them in good condition for at least 6 months.<br />Attacks on Hau lack coordination's = ineffective DPP leadership?Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-45543989395630964652010-10-08T19:59:54.898+08:002010-10-08T19:59:54.898+08:00China calls Nobel award 'blasphemy'
