		Ilan is a particularly hot place to be since the contest for county magistrate between the DPP-green candidate 陳定南 (Chen Ding-nan, former Ilan magistrate from 1981-89) and KMT-blue candidate 呂國華 (Lu Kuo-hwa, current Ilan mayor) is very tight.
		Ilan has a reputation for valuing democracy (as an early base for the Dang-wai Movement, which challenged KMT one-party rule and whose members went on to form the DPP) as well as for sustainable development.
		Ilan County possesses a symbolic status for the DPP, and a loss here would be traumatic.

		The most startling was its defeat in Taipei County -- the largest county in Taiwan -- which Yu Ching, a popular pro-independence figure, first took for the DPP in 1989 and the party has held in several elections since then.
		But the DPP's position in the county was seriously undermined last year, when President Chen tapped its popular county magistrate Su Tseng-chang to become DPP chairman.
		The Ilan defeat was particularly dispiriting to the DPP because its candidate, former Justice Minister Chen Ding-nan, was seen as one of President Chen's few competent cabinet ministers and a determined prosecutor of governmental corruption.
