马英九当选了!

台湾政治,蓝天再现!

Finally, finally, Ma Ying-jeou has won the Taiwan presidential elections.

虽然不关我的事,但我还是很高兴。

I was halfway through watching the Easter drama when PY smsed me this:

"TW: Ma Ying-jeou has won the Presidential Election by some 58% of the vote. (TVBS)"

I couldn't resist but replied a "Woohoo!" back to her. Call it occupational hazard or what, but these days I am sensitive to such matters. This time, it is really a mandate for Ma. Winning by more than two million votes is really something. It means something. Let's hope he can live up to the expectations of the Taiwanese.

At least for those of us watching Taiwanese politics, we can take a break from listening to Ah Bian or the Green Camp's not so, ahem, perfect Mandarin.
