＜ 組財經內閣 點名賴英照? ＞
　　The legislative elections are over, and now, the President has appointment of a new cabinet to keep his hands full. Who is the right candidate to head the Executive Yuan? So far, Governor of Central Bank 彭 淮南 and Justice 賴英照 are the most likely candidates. Lai was once Minister of Finance of the Provincial Government. During 張俊雄's term as Premier, Lai was promoted as Vice President of the Executive Yuan, forming a stronghold with the institution's then Secretary General 邱義仁. When 張俊雄 resigned three years ago, Lai insisted on leaving the cabinet as well. Subsequently, he took on responsibilities of a justice.彭 淮南 is presently Governor of Central Bank, bank of Taiwan. Peng was educated to become a financial expert for the government during the years the KMT was in power. A quality both Lai and Peng share is amiable relations with the opposition party. In the wake of the imbalance between government and the new legislature, either candidate would be vital to coordination between the pan-blue and green forces.

　　立委選舉結束了,接下來,陳水扁總統頭痛的,就是新內閣人選,究竟誰會有資格帶領行政院,目前,以中央銀行總裁彭淮南以及大法官賴英照,呼聲最高。曾經擔任省府財政廳長，賴英照在張俊雄擔任行政院長期間,就被拔擢為副院長,與當時的行政院秘書長邱義仁,行成堅強的鐵三角！三年前,張俊雄卸下內閣,賴英照執意轉換跑道,才轉任大法官。再看看彭淮南,除了是中央銀行總裁之外,更是國民黨執政時期,所培育的財經技術官僚.兩個人的共同特質通通都是和在野的關係極佳。在新國會出爐,朝小野大的情況之下,對於化解泛藍的杯葛,綠營相信將會有加乘的作用。

＜ 民進黨敗選 自評兩原因 ＞
　　A deep bow to voters, President Chen Shui-bian acknowledged losing the legislative election battle. DPP did not win enough seats in legislative like they have expected. DPP headquarter did a reviewing report on the reasons why they failed. And the conclusion was during the election period, too many issues were being thrown out, including the change of name and constitution. That scared away many mid-voters. Another reason that failed was because after March 20th, the presidential election, DPP became too overly confident and optimistic about the legislative election this time. On top of that, there were too many legislative candidates running for the same districts, thus caused problems with vote-sharing. After this time, DPP will definitely learn to be more humble in the next election.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

　　向選民深深一鞠躬, 陳水扁總統承認, 在這次立委選舉中, 民進黨打輸了, 表現不理想, 而追究原因, 黨內也完成了檢討報告,總結起來最大的原因, 就是拋出太多的議題, 包括正名和制憲, 嚇跑了中間選民. 另一個值得檢討的, 就是民進黨在320過後,對於選舉過於樂觀, 自信和自滿, 才會導致敗選. 再加上提名爆炸, 同一, 聯合配票又出問題, 才會導致這次的大挫敗, 有了這樣的經驗, 民進黨下回面對選舉, 將會學著更謙虛.

＜ 宋楚瑜出國 連宋會喊停 ＞
　　On the third day after the elections, PFP Chairman James Soong left for the US to visit family. Before he left, Soong said that he would no longer provoke the KMT, and that he is extending an olive branch to KMT Chairman Lien Chan. As for internal party rumors that the PFP would be cooperating with the DPP, Soong said that the oranges hadn't turned green, and furthermore, how does one merge blue oranges with the rest? Lien Chan had no comments for the media on Wednesday morning, but most people have an optimistic outlook on the planned merger. On the other hand, a KMT legislator has asked the KMT to do some humble self-analysis. Regardless of whether the merger ultimately takes place, the KMT and PFP will continue to work together. Currently, all negotiations are postponed until Soong returns to Taiwan.

　　選後三天,親民黨主席宋楚瑜遠離一切紛擾,前往美國探望家人,臨出發前,宋楚瑜在機場,不再強烈砲轟國民黨,而是向國民黨主席連戰釋出善意。對於親民黨內傳出要和民進黨合作,宋楚瑜表示,橘子不變綠，藍橘又怎麼併？隨著他出國,連宋會面再度喊停。國民黨主席連戰上午沒有表示意見,而國親兩黨內部大多是樂觀看待,不過,也有國民黨立委要求國民黨應該虛心檢討.不管是樂觀，還是檢討，國親合作基調沒變，只是合併之路還走得顛顛簸跛，宋楚瑜的美國行，能沈澱出多少心得，也攸關合併之路能不能走的
