Sound familiar to anybody?
If Lopez Obrador wins, there is likely to be a major monetary/economic crisis in Mexico, and we will be regretting not having that wall already built.

Don't forget Castro as well. The company I work for has a manufacturing plant in Mexico. Everyone I spoke with wants Calderon to win. They know their jobs will go up in smoke if Obrador steals the election. They call him the communist.

Somehow, I get the feeling that we will not impose an Embargo of one of our Major Suppliers of Oil.

If that happens, it will play out like this: Obrador, who the underclass prefers and sees as the "reform" friend of the little man, will be ousted in a revolution, much like Francisco Madero, who was viewed the same way, was ousted in favor of those who are even further to the left.
My theory is that a fear of this scenario above is precisely what has kept the U.S. government from closing off the border. They view the border as the only release valve for the pressure cooker that is Mexico.

If the Mexican left is anything like the American left, once Calderon wins again, they will miraculously "find" a few thousand "lost" ballots, from every household pet, cemetery and future born children of the leftists.
I have yet to see a leftist win an election honestly.

What a farce. Corrupt democracy is worse than blatand dictatorship because it carries the false aura of legitimacy.

No doubt.. the NY Times is already setting up the fraud.. in today's paper, there is a story about "mismarked" ballots... they had crayon-marked paper ballots but apparently some voters didn't understand the ballots, and voted for two candidates, etc.
I strongly anticipate the leftists will be clamoring to have those ballots reexamined for "voter intent." I am sure that the Broward County Democratic Party could send some assistants to the Mexican election board.

Pay attention everyone. I've been tracking this all day and I am quite confident that everything is going to work out with Calderon winning.
If you go to the homepage of the Mexico City newspaper
El Universal at (
this is a pop-up link):
http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/noticias.html
and look at the upper left you will see the updated vote count. What is more important is the statement in Spanish that reads "
Los Resultados pueden cambiar in cualquier momento y no marcan a ninguna tendencia" which translates to "the results can change at any moment and do not show any tendency."
This same statement has been repeated in dozens of reports I have read all day long as I have tracked this, and I have translated two different articles which I have posted today on the close Mexican election.
I want to call your attention to one particular post I made within one thread today in which I explained the Mexican electoral process to CedarDave, who was very anxious about the possible outcome:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1660837/posts?page=16#16
If you will read that post you will understand that what is going on today is a certification process of reports turned in this past Sunday to the PREP (Program of Preliminary Electoral Results) who handled the preliminary count after the election. All day long I have been looking for reports that suggest there has been a change in the vote totals reported in the documents turned in and I have found none. I have repeatedly found public statements that officials say no changes have been noticed.
And more importantly, from my post you will understand that if a change was noticed, it would be
very big news and you would be hearing the PAN leadership screaming everywhere about it. They're not stupid everyone and they have their observers on the scene witnessing the certification of votes. There have been no significant changes thus far I can assure you.
So, unless I see some results from Sunday-Monday's counts reported as changed, I think it is quite easy to say that Calderon is going to win by about 250,000 votes, or .4% (four-tenths of one percent) of the total.
And as I write now Calderon trails in the certified vote by 1.04%, a percentage split that has been going steadily in his direction since they were at about 54% of the total counted.
And I am continuing to keep track of this count.
To: StJacques
I tend to agree with you albeit cautiously. Calderon's statement today was unequivical that the tally would remain the same.
At the same time, I don't like what I see. Help!
