    Taiwan's Election Eve (Video & Photos), Jan 13, 2012

    By nealmoore  |  Posted January 13, 2012  |  Taipei, Taiwan
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     nealmoore shares these videos of rallies in Taipei, Taiwan, on the eve of a contentious and high-profile election for the country's presidency. 'As an observer, I think to witness and document first hand the optimism and resulting on-the-street reality of democracy in action here in East Asia, was a great experience,' he said. 'In my view, I'm thus both satisfied and thrilled with the victor.'

    Taiwan's Election Eve, Jan 13, 2012

     

    By NEAL MOORE (CNN iReport) TAIPEI --- I visited the pan-blue ruling KMT Rally for current president Ma Ying-jeou on Ketagalan Boulevard in front of the Presidential Office in Taipei City and the pan-green opposition Democratic Progressive Party Rally for presidential candidate Tsai Ing-wen out front her National Campaign Headquarters in New Taipei City, BanCiao District. It was interesting to see what the young and old had to say – both parties optimistic for tomorrow’s presidential vote, which observers from Beijing to Washington will be closely watching.
