AP article on the Seattle Post-Intelligencer website says...
The independent agency that ran Sunday's election added up more than 41 million votes and declared that Calderon won the most: 240,000 more than rival Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
But...
this agency has no legal authority to declare a winner.

The article continues...
Under Mexico's complex election laws, Calderon won't have won until the Federal Electoral Tribunal certifies the count. And that's not a sure thing: the widely respected tribunal has overturned two gubernatorial races in recent years, both for meddling by the ruling party.
I apologize that this isn't long on analysis. I didn't see any mention of this story (and it was only 41 minutes old-- about 30 minutes ago...oh, the pressure...this is like ancient now, isn't it? Those darn html codes that I had to go look up...), so I thought I'd just put it out there.
Worth reading the whole thing.
