Mexican Left Has Same Success Rate as American Left

Looks like the Mexican left took a page from the American left and scored an "almost victory" in the Mexican presidential race.

Mexico's left, still smarting from a 1988 presidential vote it says was stolen from it (how familiar does that sound - HC), simmered with anger on Monday as its dreams of power were frustrated by another contested election.

Conservative candidate Felipe Calderon claimed victory in Sunday's hard-fought presidential election and official returns appeared to show anti-poverty campaigner Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador would be unable to catch him.

Harvard-educated Calderon held a one-point lead over former Indian welfare officer Lopez Obrador on Monday with returns in from almost 98 percent of polling stations. A top electoral official said a recount this week was unlikely to change that.

Maybe they can get Robert Kennedy Jr. to write an article about it.
