Well everyone, it's getting dangerous. The big PRD demonstration Lopez Obrador has called for this Sunday in Mexico City is on and it appears that AMLO has set the stage by declaring himself President of Mexico, even though the final decision of the Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Power of the Federation (TEPJF), which is the only body in Mexico that has the legal power to declare any winner of the Presidential Election, is still weeks away.
The TEPJF has been continuing its deliberations, and not in secret either, but they are addressing the many challenges Lopez Obrador and his coalition have submitted, along with others submitted by the PAN Party contesting some of AMLO's numbers, on a case-by-case basis and not by using the full hand recount of all the ballots Lopez Obrador has called for repeatedly. It is also clear that some of Calderon's challenges to AMLO's totals have been sustained.
While it is impossible to tell how the TEPJF's deliberations have changed the overall vote totals, and that cannot be known until they render their final report, it is becoming more and more evident that Calderon likely will be declared the eventual winner.
AMLO has evidently decided to declare the work of the TEPJF invalid before it is completed. Mexico is coming right up to the edge of a catastrophe. Sunday's demonstration is going to tell us a lot.

Others had predicted he would try to win this in the streets, and it looks like they were right.
Considering that he only got slightly more than a third of the vote, it takes a lot of nerve. But the Left is taking the gloves off these days. For the 60+ percent of Mexico that didn't vote for him, they had better stick together or its over. PRI needs to be clear whether they love Mexico more than they hate PAN. I believe they do.

Mexico is coming right up to the edge of a catastrophe.
If anyone deserves credit for it, it's Al Gore.
His disgusting behavour after losing in Florida
was a shining example to fanatics like Obrador,
that creating doubt about the electorial process
could pay off.

"...one more occurence of a messianic impudence..." I like that phrase! It's perfect for Gore and Kerry...and Hillary, too! ;)

I think this is the best tactic -- compare him to Santa Ana! Now that's funny!
You may want to consider a vacation to Puerto Vallarta for a few days, things could get dicey. Stay safe down there...

Oh great, a civil war on our southern border. I can't imagine the number of "refuges" that will pour into the US seeking political asylum.

Your comments reflect intelligence, thought, reason, details and balance. I live in Mexico. For us here, we see that the PRD party is basically divided, as they made many gains in the senatorial, mayors, governors races etc, and there is a moderate group among them that really hates to see their party hijacked by a Messianic Self Proclaimed Fix-It-All man. After Mexico City is shut down, no truck loads of Tysen Chickens can get in from ARkansas, and when the produce can't get to the market, people will all complain about the chaotic mess, and they'll probably all go back to complaining get off the streets and go back to work if it gets bad enough, some might even move out of Mexico City and try to live in NYC.

Wouldn't a putsch right down there across the border be EXCITING!

Something fishy in the world nowadays. How many elections have been so close that the loser declares himself the winner ?
It's the politics of division, the thing that scares the powers the be the most is that we all come together and throw their asses out of office.
