An update to the Republic of China’s election: Ma Ying-jeou, and his KMT party, won the election with 58.45% of the vote, and a comfortable margin of 17% ahead of Frank Hsieh, and the DPP. I don’t want to take too much credit for the KMT win, but I have to honestly say that my endorsement of Ma Ying-jeou would have had quite the impact.
