摘要

國民黨主席選舉結果揭曉，馬英九大勝。馬勝選的意義包括：黨員自主性的展現，馬英九的形象魅力贏得了黨員認同，馬英九的改革訴求奏效，馬的選戰跨越了族群的藩籬，馬有能力整合泛藍基層，馬是藍軍2008年的唯一希望。但是，馬的當選，也意味著未來他將面臨許多挑戰，包括：黨內整合問題，如何改革國民黨的問題，如何強化其領導風格問題，如何釐清黨的路線，如何整合泛藍高層，如何在兩岸和國際問題上加分。總之，國民黨主席選舉是一場值得肯定的民主競爭選舉，對國民黨的民主轉型有幫助，對台灣的民主鞏固也有助益。

According to the outcome of KMT's party chairman's election, Mayor Ma Yin-Jeou won a landslide election. Ma's victory was significant in many ways: party members made their decisions independently and were not influenced by the party leaders; Ma's positive image won the support of party members; Ma's reform agenda met with a warm response by party members; Ma's integrity won him the support of different ethnic groups; Ma possessed the ability to integrate the pan-blue's rank-and-file; and Ma is the only hopeful candidate who can win the 2008 presidential election. Ma's victory, however, also means he is going to face a lot of challenges such as the KMT's internal integration problem; whether he can implement his reforms; improving his leadership problem; clarifying the KMT's party policy line; integrating the pan-blue leadership, especially the PFP leaders; and scoring for his future presidential election in the areas of cross-strait relations and international relations. In sum, KMT's party chairman election was a real democratic election, which deserves positive comment. It not only will contribute to KMT's democratic transition, but will contribute to Taiwan's democratic consolidation as well.
