"We appreciate the DPP's kindness. However, the strategy is so tricky that swing voters won't like it. Hsieh is probably out, as he can't get elected by DPP diehards alone," Liu said.
At a separate event yesterday, Hsieh urged the public not to assume that the election was decided.
"Nobody can be 100 percent sure about the results of the election," Hsieh said. "Eight years ago, nobody was expecting my victory in the Kaohsiung mayor election. I am sorry to say that my victory also made gamblers lose lots of money."
Hsieh said that more and more rumors will be spread as election day nears.
"But, rumors are rumors because they are created by those who try to manipulate the result of the election," he said.
