Well, one of them is the local Gore soreloserman, a Chavez wannabe. The other is just a regular inept.
There are three major parties in Mexico: PAN, PRI, and PRD. I don’t know why people keep referring to the race as “the two candidates” when it’s a 3-way race. PAN is the allegedly “conservative” party, and Mexico has been run by a “conservative” government for the last 12 years. If Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderon are what “conservative” means in Mexico, then good riddance, they’ve been nothing but a thorn in our side. Ironically, many of the public policy issues where Mexico really is conservative, like restrictive abortion laws, were passed under the previous, “liberal” PRI government. They’re ultra-corrupt but I really don’t think they stand for anything except winning elections. And the third party, PRD, are a bunch of screwy commies who came THISCLOSE (less than 1%) from winning the 2006 election. “Conservative” Calderon pulled off a victory instead, and went on to screw America for the last six years.
