...final term as president, it's an issue of legacy, says Loh Chih-cheng, a political science professor at Soochow University in Taipei. "He's pushing to make his name in history," Loh says. (Yang notes that all this could be the president's canny understanding of voter math in Taiwan: a referendum in 2004 helped get out the vote during Chen's re-election campaign.) The opposition Kuomintang (KMT) has accused Chen of using the referendum as a political ploy, but the party announced last week that it too would back a referendum. The KMT says it will...

Even in a presidential campaign that has started as early as this one, Heather Smith couldn't have expected she would already be so busy. But "my phone started ringing the day after midterms and it hasn't stopped ringing since," says Smith, 30, the executive director of Young Voter Strategies (YVS).
