check it out... will the PAN (Fox's party) take the win again?
or will another PRI winning streak be about to begin?

[KillerPollo]

yes! Go PRD!

What exactly is the PRI's platform anyway? PAN is the conservative party, PRD is the leftist one, so what is the PRI and why did no one decide to vote them out until a couple years ago.

The PRI always won elections from 1929 (it's official modern name establishment) until 2000 when Fox won... they won every election for many reasons... mainky money, and to corruption in the 1988 election, which some say it was technically stolen.
I do not know what platform would the PRI be in exactly... Interesting matter to look up though

Creel is an idiot who needs to die... or just humiliate himself in Jay Leno.

Like Al Gore, Lopez Obrador is demanding te votes be reviewed and sh**t... He has turned to the electoral tribunal and formed a demonstration with some of his followers at the Zocalo in Mexico City.

Obrador is surely an asshole who does not know how to lose.

 Good one, ag, But in general, THis election is extremely important because it could an and WILL decide the fate of the Americas altogether. This decided whether Mexico drifts north or south. If Peje (Lopez Obrador) had won, You'd see a Mexico more independent from the United States and in coalition with SOuth American countries, like Brasil, or Venezuela, since Peje wants to join forces with Brazil, and consider Chavez as more of a Moderate. This would also be a disaster for the existing NAFTA and for the US itself, since Peje, like Chavez want to choke the US of its oil from that region. Keep in mind Mexique is the Mo. 1 trading partner of the United States. This would leave a gaping hole in the US economy.
But Calderon has won, and now it looks like Mexico will drift north and progress rather than reverting into a socialist hell like it was once beck in the 60s when the PRI had control of everything and everyone's lives.
