【片段節錄】

¶3. (C) Siew offered his view, based on his conversations
around Taiwan, that DPP presidential candidate Frank Hsieh
(Chang-ting) will beat KMT's Ma Ying-jeou in 2008. He said
Ma is steadily losing ground in polls and has not displayed
strong leadership traits. Siew seemed most supportive of DPP
defeated candidate Su Tseng-chang, citing him as "absolutely
not corrupt" and a good personality that people trust. On
Hsieh, Siew said he is better educated than Su and knows how
to deal with people. Siew seemed to be suggesting that the
DPP should run a Hsieh/Su ticket. During his time at the
Boao Forum, Siew said the consensus was that Ma has only a
50/50 chance of winning the presidency.

【簡單翻譯】

蕭萬長提供他的觀點，據他對台灣的談話，民進黨總統候選人謝長廷將會在2008年擊敗國民黨的馬英九。他說馬英九在民調中節節敗退且沒有展現強而有力的領導特質。蕭萬長似乎最支持在民進黨黨內初選落敗的蘇貞昌，稱其「絕不貪腐」且有讓人信任的良好性格。談到謝長廷，蕭萬長說他受到比蘇貞昌更好的教育且知道如何去和人打交道。蕭萬長似乎暗示民進黨應該推出謝蘇配。在博鰲論壇時，蕭萬長說一般的共識是馬英九只有一半的機會贏得總統大選。
