39. Adding a small but informtive article on the ORIGINAL subject:
Protesters head for Mexico City
Originally published July 13, 2006

MONTERREY, Mexico // Supporters of leftist presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador headed to Mexico City yesterday, leaving mountain towns and sprawling industrial cities to demand a ballot-by-ballot recount. Protesters gathered outside the country's 300 electoral districts before heading to the capital, where a mass rally is planned for Sunday to denounce official results showing conservative Felipe Calderon as the apparent winner of the July 2 election. Lopez Obrador has filed legal appeals challenging Calderon's nearly 244,000-vote advantage.

It's clear Calderon hopes to attract the sympathies of some of the Lopez Obrador supporters with his last ditch effort to claim, "me, too." He never spoke this way during the campaign, as you know.

Why bring it up now, when half the country is really steamed, and rightfully so? He's trying to help his image.
