Another article has a poll showing 59% of Mexicans think that AMLO has acted irresponsibly since the election (only 28% think that of Calderon.) I'll post that article and a link shortly.

OK, I found it:

Another giant crowd turns out in Mexico City to call for recount

The candidates amped up the rhetoric Wednesday - Lopez Obrador declared himself "president of Mexico," while Calderon's camp said Lopez Obrador is bordering on "messianic."...

...One young woman dressed in white hung from a wooden crucifix. Her yellow sash read "Democracy."...

Despite Sunday's massive turnout, a poll published Sunday showed concerns over Lopez Obrador's movement.

The poll, sponsored by the Reforma newspaper, showed that 58 percent of Mexicans don't believe Lopez Obrador when he says he'll respect the decision of the electoral court. Fifty-seven percent believe his protest campaign could spark violence.

Also, 59 percent said they believe he has acted "irresponsibly" since the July 2 elections, compared to 28 percent who said the same of Calderon.

Hopefully, she will see lots of blood and it will be her own. May she drown in it.

What's wrong with Obrador, he sounds like you could trust him... /s

Machine translation from an article from http://www.informador.com.mx/
below:

"I reiterate, I am not ambitious, a vulgar one, the money does not move nor interest me, the power only has sense when it is put to the service of the others", Obrador said.

It's amazing how leftists think that power is their birthright, regardless if they can't win elections. When was the last time conservatives threatened violence and bloodshed when one of their candidates lost a democratic election?

This situation hots up and our borders could be literally stormed by refugees. The problem: how to move them all into San Francisco, Seattle, and Massachusetts. (Free plane tickets at the border?)

AMLO's aspiring tax-leeching followers are now blocking major roadways in Mexico City, and the electoral court hasn't even ruled against him yet. Here's an analysis (in Spanish) of the (pathetically minimalist) legal protections that the government has at its disposal against such blackmailing traffic blocking (assuming the Left Wing govt. of Mexico City would even bother to enforce them rather than sit back and hope AMLO becomes president so that the heavily unionized Lefties can have more job security):
