Reuters reports that, as of 8pm eastern time, as voting concluded in Mexico, exit polls showed Andrés Manuel López Obrador of the "leftwing" party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) leading in exit polls over Felipe Calderón of the ruling conservative National Action party (PAN).

We've said again and again: exit polls tell us how voters say they voted, but the voters can't tell pollsters whether their vote will be counted. In Mexico, counting the vote is an art, not a science - and Calderón's ruling crew is very artful indeed. The PAN-controlled official electoral commission, not surprisingly, has announced that the presidential tally is too close to call

Greg Palast is a certifiable far-left nutjob..... he has conspiracies for everything. The only conspiracy he can't seem to explain is how so many raving loonies like Greg Palast actually get paid money to write their tripe.

So here we are, years later, and they're still saying the 2000 and 2004 election was stolen.

Geesh!

Move on, no wonder they lose elections.

The only exit poll that I saw that had Obrador winning was the one from the PRD itself all of the others said Calderon

We've said again and again: exit polls tell us how voters say they voted...

And, as we've seen agains and again, Lefties will SAY anything to get elected. I wonder how many people in the USA try to fool exit polls by walking into any precinct, then turning around and walking out, and then answering an exit poll as if they had voted, just to give the appearance that their candidate is winning. Now, more than ever, the appearance of winning is more important during the contested election phase that will follow all future elections.

I purposely lie to the exit polls just to screw up their numbers.
