Sirinita...
It doesn't matter what is said during an election...being a politician dictates that you will be corrupt no matter what. Power does wierd things to people and paying all your political constituents back after being elected is mandatory. Electing a different party can just create a logjam so nothing gets done. The evils of government.:barf:

Serves 'em right. That's what you get when you have free elections.

Letting the poor vote... What were they thinking? :lol:

If you follow the Mexican media on this its was/is called the "Manos Sucios" incident and it was really did happen. How dare the US Government involve themselves in the Mexican elections! The FBI agents involved deserved to be arrested as they blatantly violated the law. IF the FBI was all that smart they should have sent dual (Mex) citizens to handle this, DUH! Your tax dollars at work. The election results are still unofficial from what I can see so far but last time I saw the TV news Obrador was ahead by only 1% !

PREP


On Sunday they were preliminary results. Today is the official count. This is not a recount as some of you are saying.

Conservative Leads in Mexico Vote Recount

By LISA J. ADAMS
The Associated Press
Thursday, July 6, 2006; 6:08 AM

MEXICO CITY -- The two front-runners in Mexico's closest presidential race in history watched anxiously Thursday as an overnight vote tally recount saw the conservative candidate Felipe Calderon catch up to his leftist rival and pass him by a razor-thin margin.


Article

And why is the media calling this a "recount" I thought it was still the official first count......

The Betting Line


Anyone who still thinks that Obrador can win this election is deluding themselves. The official count shows Calderon as the winner. The recount will show Calderon as the winner and any Supreme Court decision will be in Calderon's favor, regardless of the merits. Calderon is the Safer choice from the standpoint of the establishment. Obrador is a wildcard that could have serious consequences for the Mexican economy.

Any Obrador Bettors ??

Obrador's party have large scale demonstrations planned in the Zocalo in Mexico City on Saturday. Hope this will not turn ugly, but there's a large chance that it will.
