". . . They should vote for a bum on the streets if they have to. ANYTHING - ANYTHING would be better than Ortega."

And thus do we arrive at the real national interest of the United States -- stopping the Latin American Left from taking possession of another weakened nation in our own hemisphere. We have no business attempting to "cherry pick" candidates we would like to support in Nicaragua. Our goal is stop Ortega and the FSLN. Whoever stands up to do that is for the Nicarguans to decide among themselves. Trying to make that choice for them is to invite the disaster that is almost upon us now.
