The first court hearing in the suit filed by Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Chairman Lien Chan (??) and People First Party (PFP) Chairman James Soong (???) to declare the result of the presidential election null and void took place on Friday. However, it only revealed that a speedy resolution of the dispute is just not going to happen.

Apparently the KMT-PFP alliance has again changed its mind -- now, instead of a total recount of the votes, it wants a partial recount of only those votes cast for President Chen Shui-bian (???) and Vice President Annette Lu (???).

This news came as a surprise even to the alliance's most loyal supporters -- those who have been chanting "immediate and total recount" for two weeks at rallies that have been taking place at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall or in front of the KMT headquarters. Reportedly, some of them couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it more fair to have a total recount?"
