I don't know enough about the environment in Mexico to predict how far the demonstrations will go, but my hunch is there will be no "uprising."

I don't think there will be an uprising either.

I am basing this on my feelers in business & finance. International investors and the Mexican financial community reacted positively to the Calderon win on the day after the election. It faltered a bit as Obrador began to make threats.

But there is an eager emerging Mexican middle class that wants to see the country reap the benefits of free market reform that Calderon offers. And, if what I'm reading is right, Obrador is increasingly seen as a professional "victim" and a manipulator of the masses. Supposely there are a lot of people are cynical about his motives.
