Results are in. No socialist leftist America-hater to our South. I kinda wish the lefty had won. Maybe we would get tougher on illegals.

It's only a 1% lead, it can still change, these are only the preliminary results.

I'm still rooting for the lefty guy, just 'cause he's a lefty.

Interestingly, I was watching one pundit talking about the Mexico elections, and he made a very interesting point. If Mexico had simply continued its economic growth rate from before joining NAFTA in 1994, it would now have an economy roughly equivalent to Spain's. But after NAFTA, the economy has stagnated and conditions have actually worsened in many areas. I don't have numbers to back this up, just passing on what some pundit on TV had to say about it.

What gives me a kick is how some news stories are trying to cast the election as a struggle of rich vs. poor instead of right vs. left. If a slim majority of Mexicans are considered "rich" things must be alot better off there than we've been led to believe.

As a side note, Id like to point out that conservatives now head all 3 major North American governments.

Erm.... well... Im not sure if we can count Bush as "conservative".

And this conservative's no good either - he's a Fox clone, and that means more illegals, guys. This is nothing to celebrate. If the lefty won, well, who knows what would happen.

Al Queda being welcomed with open arms to our South, and Hugo Chavez's troops deployed would be my guess.
