Fear The Panda
Taiwan's pro-independence president, Chen Shui-bian, was shot yesterday during a parade:

Chen was shot across the abdomen and Vice President Annette Lu was struck in the right knee as they stood in an open-roof sport utility vehicle waving at crowds lining the streets of the southern city of Tainan, the president's hometown.

The injuries were not life-threatening and neither Chen nor Lu lost consciousness or required surgery, officials said. The Reuters news agency said they were released from the hospital several hours later.

Now, I'm not saying the Red Chinese would assassinate someone to influence an election... oh, wait, that's exactly what I'm saying.
