Anyone think the US is going to tamper on Sunday (Domingo)

López Obrador, who has been in the USA only once and does not speak English, is the most critical of U.S. policies. He also has threatened not to honor Mexico's agreement to drop tariffs on U.S. corn and soybeans as stipulated by the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement, which he says has helped multinationals more than Mexicans.


"Clearly the U.S would be more comfortable with Calderón because he is going to be much more predictable and he also is more in tune with the U.S. model for the Mexican economy," says Pamela Starr of Eurasia Group, a consultancy in New York. But, she adds, Washington is "more than willing to work with Obrador."

Thanks to all for the article: http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2006-06-28-mexico_x.htm

this was buried in the back... could you imagine if a President stood up for the people who elected him and brought stability in a country... I wonder why the US doesn't approve.

2. Also...

What is the US model for Mexican Economy.. the poor brown folks come over for cheap labor, while we exploit their economy with our cheap trade... Sad isn't it that corn from Nebraska is cheaper than the maize in their own country.. And why is it 4 for a $1.oo over here????

3. I'm afraid of election fraud if the race is close

It would cause turmoil between the poor supporters of Obrador and the wealthy and powerful who benefit from Mexico's current ailing economy.
