Rains causing flooding in west part of Mexico City. In various parts of Mexico city, water was standing 60 centimeters,

Weather watchers, the 2 million squatters that closed down the Zocalo Plaza in Mexico City are getting another downpour. Probably not like the unusual hailstorm of last Wednesday. The candidate Obrador is convening at 11am, his effort to solidify his followers into a permanent camp until all precincts are counted. This is hilarious, as the weather for these folks is JUST not cooperating.

Wonder if whoever wins will try to reform Mexico's flagrantly anti-gringo, highly racist immigration laws?

Interestingly enough, this Houston Chronicle article says that around 4 million votes are subject to the recount and that they're basically in PAN strongholds:

The article also says the PRD's ObraGore's prospects are considered bleak.

It's disconcerting to see the PRD official saying that their "peaceful" civil resistance will involve their making others spill their blood, the blood of the oppressed, Gandhi-style. Some lunkheads down there have nothing better to do than to jump to their death in front of metro trains and let the PRD claim it was in protest. I'd be interested to see how the bets on that Irish wagering site are regarding ObraGore's prospects now. Hopefully they haven't improved?
