This year's presidential election, in which the two opposing political camps are running a neck and neck race, is an acid test of whether Taiwan can further deepen its democracy and continue domestic and constitutional reforms that will ensure the country's overall development, according to political analysts.

It is a race that leaves voters with a choice between progress and regression.

President Chen Shui-bian (???) of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) terminated the Chinese Nationalist Party's (KMT) five-decades-long grip on political power in the 2000 election by defeating the other two candidates, Lien Chan (??) and James Soong (???), who were both members of the KMT at the time.
