I'm going to withhold further commentary on what may look like "good news" from Oaxaca until after I see how the second voting proceeds on Monday and Tuesday, though I suspect the SNTE is gravitating away from APPO.

norton made a really good comment -- yesterday? -- about (I'm paraphrasing from memory) "an animal being most dangerous when cornered," an observation I said then applied to APPO and some of the stuff I'm reading today reinforces that opinion of mine. APPO could do something truly radical this week. Just what, I don't know, but I'm expecting them to do something. Remember that I predicted this right here.

So frustrating interpreting from afar! I am hoping (and I am well aware that hope is the most worthless of the emotions) that APPO will see at least some of the handwriting on the wall and make just enough fuss and a gesture just grand enough to preserve face.

Speaking of frustrating, it seems to me that news from the central government in the DF seems to be minimal. Are they really content to let SNTE tack center stage for now?

Thanks to you all for the info and for keeping this on an even keel.
