Somebody needs to say it: having an outright commie come that close to taking over the government of Mexico is no cause for any of us to celebrate. Mexico needs to be fixed. Nobody prospers by trying to dodge bullets forever.

I agree with all of that, and add that a free and prosperous Mexico would be good for these United States, for a wide variety of reasons.

Lest we become smug, though, don't forget that in November, 2000 a majority of Americans who bothered to vote, voted for a communist.
