Who will be replacing Vicente Fox, the first non-PRI Mexican president in Mexico in over 70 years. Will it be Felipe Calderon, a fellow conservative and PAN member? Or Manuel Lopez Obrador, the leftist Mayor of Mexico City running on a very solid campaign with the Democratic Revolution Party?
I'm rooting for Manuel Lopez Obrador, because I'd like to see the continent turn left. If Felipe Calderon wins, we'll have conservatives in control of Mexico, the United States, and Canada. A continent as strong as North America deserves more balanced leadership and Lopez Obrador reflects a significant voice amoung us which has been stifled of late.
The latest results, with 9% of precincts reporting, show Calderon at 40% and Lopez Obrador at 35%. Third party PRI candidate is below 20% and not a threat. Mexico City (the largest city in the world i think) will likely determine the race.
