Mexico's Sr. AMLO is floating the idea that he is the victim of a huge fraud.
In the US, we send people like that to a psychiatrist. Sometimes, they appear on the Oprah Winfrey Show. I think that it's time for Sr. LO to visit Oprah, cry on her shoulder and blame everyone for his electoral misfortunes.
Maybe Sr. LO will tell Oprah that senior citizens in Oaxaca and Chiapas meant to vote for him but voted for Calderon.
On a serious note, Sr. LO's case is not very persuasive.
First, every precinct was staffed by a representative from the parties. I spoke with a couple of people who worked that day. I have read reports from the international press, which were full of praise for IFE.
Second, every envelope (with results enclosed) was certified by the parties present.
Question for Sr. LO: Were PRD representatives sleeping on the job? Did they all go out for "tacos" during the certification exercise?
So what really happened on July 2nd? Calderon got 200,000 more votes!
It's time for Sr. LO to pursue another career, specially one that takes him very far from Mexico. Frankly, many of us are tired of his silly act!
