Yeah, the numbers are clearly falling off.

The whole thing was clearly at a turning point on Tuesday when the PRD and their allies had to sit down and calculate their own response to Monday's desalojo of their protestors from the grounds of the national legislature. AMLO began talking his convention shtick hoping to rile everyone up and, based upon what I have seen since, it appears to me that some of the folks are going home. Even Encinas said yesterday that he expects to see the encampments picked up in a couple of weeks.

We've got to keep our eyes on the actions of the TRIFE this week -- I expect them to announce the results of the recount and complete the first stage of the process wherein they tell everyone the votes -- and we still have to watch what will happen on September 1, and possibly the days leading up to it, when Fox will give his national address. Those are the things to look out for right now, but I am getting the feeling this whole thing is cooling off a bit.

Can we expect much to come from Ahumada's accusations that the feds. made him help produce videos that were unflattering to candidate AMLO? I imagine this isn't proper according to law, but hopefully it won't turn the tables either...(assuming it's even true). Lord knows they did what they could to disgrace PAN candidate Santiago Creel too. Then when Felipe emerged as the victor in the PAN debates, we saw AMLO trash Felipe for his brother in law's business dealings in the only presidential debate in which ObraGore participated (followed by that in-law's suing AMLO, I think I read).
