This was not a normal election. I've owned here (La Paz) since '87 and have never seen anything like this before. The money spent on this election must be in the millions of dollars. That money came from somewhere and it came for a reason.

Gold mine? Lots of opportunities for graft there.
Casino gambling? Ditto.
Big push by Fonatur to do to BCS what it did to Cancun?

Something's up, the question is, what?

True, people are disillusioned with the PRD "workers' party," (they'll approve any weird project that creates some brick-laying jobs and offers an opportunity to ripoff permit fees) but that does not explain the enormous sums of money that poured into this election campaign from outside sources.

I believe the mayor's office in La Paz was won by the PRI's candidate, Esthela Ponce. I wonder if Jesse sees her election as a net-positive? I certainly hope so.

Shes a good friend, a decent, honest, hard working woman that should run for governor next time.
