Reply #9: Well, that really doesn't sound like the villain ...

He's not a villain. He's just really a 'destapado', i.e. chosen in advance by the outgoing prez. AND he's the choice of our esteemed leader. Lopez Obrador is really the one who cares about the poor (or so he seems), and the Mexican poor people--workers and campesinos alike--who constitute at least 80 percent (probably more) of the population voted for him. Greg Palast is still there in Mexican trying to document irregularities. Not that it will do much good, with Bush already acting like Calderon is the official president. Actually, the Electoral Commission in Mexico has until September to make a final decision.
