Re: Mexico on knife edge in presidential vote
Exactly Milesian. Obrador's victory marks another defeat for US policies in the world.. in fact right next door.
Venezuela and Bolivia, and now Mexico. Let us also not forget that Brazil (Lula) and Argentina (Kirchner) are not exactly pro-US even if they are not as radical as Chávez or Morales.
Obrador did not wish to be compared to Chávez and Morales, but I suspect that he is more in line with them than he is with Kirchner and Lula.
