Taiwan’s opposition Nationalist Party won an overwhelming victory in island-wide municipal elections Saturday, putting it in position to push its agenda of reunification with China during the 2008 presidential campaign.
This is, to put it mildly, earth-shaking news. Or, at least, it will shake Asia.

It appears Taiwan and Venezuela are doing just that, determining what they want to do and where they want to go.
