Well, this is an interesting piece of news. The PRD will have to destroy the Mexican electoral process in order to save it.
This does not bode well. The Zócalo capital plaza in Mexico City is just the place in which a demonstration that gets out of hand could have devastating consequences for the future of a transitional government to Calderón's presidency. Even though you can see Solis discussing "serenity," "civility," and a "peaceful movement," the clear intent here is to intimidate the government through the use of their broad base of support in Mexico City. This is dangerous news in my opinion.

California Patriot, I believe you were the one most worried about seeing things come apart in Mexico if the election was too close. This could be another early sign that it might. I thought I should ping you here.

I really don't know which party to root for, as both are based on the concept of hooking into the American financial teat.

This is a photo of a demonstration of Lopez Obrador's supporters yesterday in front of the Federal Electoral Institute in Mexico City.
Does that help?

The mere fact that Obrador is calling for street protests is testament to his not being fit to be president.
To: theDentist
I really don't think you want to see a friend of Chavez running a neighboring country into the ground with his socialist policies. That's the worst case scenario if Obrador wins the election through mob rule. The current flood over the border could turn into a deluge.
The bigger, more immediate risk is instability if Obrador sends angry mobs onto the streets of Mexico City.
To: StJacques
I'll keep you on it as I continue to post some additional news. Thanks a lot.
Is it true the Zappatista loonies support Obragore? Ive been hearing conflict reports. It would be yet another reason to hope this loser never becomes el presidente.

The Zócalo capital plaza in Mexico City is just the place I was there before during and after a FDN rally. Peones had been bussed in to the DF and went shopping. The Army made its disciplined presence known. And uno, dos, tres, all night long testing the P A system is not hypnotic.
To: StJacques
Thanks. This is worrisome, but it's good that Calderon won by more than a couple hundred or a couple thousand. The best possible outcome is that his party and all other reasonable Mexicans see these leftist would-be dictators for what they are. As in the U.S., they might overplay their hand.

How did the Mexican citizens in the U.S. (illegally or legally) tend to vote?

This is the second photo of a demonstration from Obrador's supporters that I've seen, and I've yet to see a Mexican flag.
