That's one way of seeing things Zee, but others differ.

Many, some even here, have postulated Mexican development would help diminish massive migration. Whether Mexico developes and how, depends on who wins.

Corruption is a serious problem and hampers adequate development, whether Mr. "Clean Hands" or the candidate promising to help the poor with massive public works projects is the next president will make a difference.

My concern is that Calderon will ultimately be confirmed, Lopez Obrador will have exhausted recourse and then likely will stage demonstrations. In the capital, where he was mayor, he has a much higher following than nationwide and things will get tense. Lopez Obrador can actually seige the national government and with his buddy Ebrad as successor in City Hall this means municipal law enforcement will be held back and the Federales will have to use force. That will happen next week unless the lefty accepts his defeat and goes off to sulk with his famous predecessor Cuauhtemoc Cardenas (another PRD loser whose victory was allegedly "stolen").
Are you for Calderon? Can you tell us something about him.? I haven't read everything here, so sorry if you have already mentioned these things.
