Taiwan has a sharp raise on PPP(GDP) in 2007 and will be even sharper in 2008. The figures are posted in Liberty Post. Just in case for those who forgot the figure, I have collected them there: http://www.inmediahk.net/public/article?item_id=275384&group_id=251<BR/><BR/>For those who believe that "good ruler or ruling party will yield good economy", it is in essence means that the new ruling party will claim all the fruits laid by previous ruling party.麥當勞https://www.blogger.com/profile/07817715634183274903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3444895069543408811.post-41841498613512629662008-03-19T13:04:00.000+08:002008-03-19T13:04:00.000+08:00I seem like a total tool for changing what I think...I seem like a total tool for changing what I think will happen, and I feel like it to. I'm basing all these predictions on virtually nothing! But it does seem like the race is getting a lot tighter than it was even one week ago.阿牛https://www.blogger.com/profile/08403972286057197709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3444895069543408811.post-64033928878248197582008-03-19T00:20:00.000+08:002008-03-19T00:20:00.000+08:00I am leaning towards this kind of view.

However, at the rate you are changing your predictions it going to be Hsieh 52% and Ma 48% by Saturday.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13061413827755873948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3444895069543408811.post-84090832983278660002008-03-18T15:51:00.000+08:002008-03-18T15:51:00.000+08:00Haha, don't mean to deny you credit or anything. T...Haha, don't mean to deny you credit or anything. The interesting part was the framing of everything on a poor economic outlook. I still reject the idea that giving the KMT "all the responsibility" will somehow benefit either the country or the DPP, but it is possible their reputation can suffer some.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, the media advantage they enjoy really is significant. If next year's economic performance is basically the same as this year's, the media coverage will still switch to largely favorable stories, and you will without doubt see change in public opinion on the economic outlook.阿牛https://www.blogger.com/profile/08403972286057197709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3444895069543408811.post-44416679272554519412008-03-18T15:27:00.000+08:002008-03-18T15:27:00.000+08:00I think I've made all those points in the recent p...I think I've made all those points in the recent past. :)Rajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034317459759343093noreply@blogger.com
