Wang likely to decline VP slot

The KMT is bracing itself for the fact that Wang is very unlikely to accept a VP slot.

A Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) lawmaker yesterday said that efforts to form a presidential ticket with former KMT chairman Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) as the presidential candidate and Legislative Speaker Wang Jin-pyng (王金平) as the vice presidential candidate were "a hopeless cause."

This obviously comes as no surprise. Wang seems to still be biding his time for a run, whether it's when Ma loses in '08 or if he can't run in '08 for another reason.
