 Mexico Election Saga IntensifiesPosted on Sep 16, 2006
Mexico’s election crisis took an interesting turn this week, when supporters of defeated candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador elected him head of a symbolic “parallel” government. Obrador and thousands of protesters have demanded a full recount of votes cast seven weeks ago, but Mexico’s electoral court ruled that Obrador’s rival, Felipe Calderon, won the election with a margin of less than 1%.

we have strong elements of a “ parallel “ govt. here in California ( synthetic governor notwithstanding ), esp the Bay Area. And we have freedoms here that are the envy of the rest of the nation.

Does not anyone see the total hypocrasy in “not” recounting votes? Votes should be talled two or even three time so help get as accurate accounting as possible. It just doesn’t make any sense not to!

why cant we do that in the U.S., that is to set up a parallel government? After all the GOP stole the election at twice.

Whether Calderon was elected by “fraud” or not, if he was a TRUE leader, an intelligent and wise and fundamentally decent person, he’d IMMEDIATELY CALL ANOTHER ELECTION.
Anyone can see he doesn’t have a mandate to govern the whole country. He’s a one-legged runner in a two-legged race. He simply can’t win.
Aren’t EGOS wonderful?
