Why would you assume that it's Obrador who is stealing the election and not Calderon? It seems very plausible that the corrupt ruling party (and by the way, that's not a specific attack on Calderon, just an observation that "corrupt" and "ruling party" are historically joined together in Mexico) might adjust the voting results to maintain its grip on power.
I certainly hope Obrador loses, since he's the greater of the two evils. But I don't expect anything particularly good to come out of a Calderon victory.
" Why would you assume that it's Obrador who is stealing the election and not Calderon? "
1. Obrador made clear that he would take action if he lost, meaning street action, etc. He has arrogantly assumed he would win all along. Obra-gore indeed.
2. The full first count had Calderon winning by 1%. You *dont* change numbers that much.
The corrupt ruling party *was* the PRI.
"But I don't expect anything particularly good to come out of a Calderon victory."
The defeat of a leftist for one, and the salvation of mexico's economy for two.
Very sensible post. I commend you, sir.
