Mexico moves (further) south

the mexican people have about had it with the monied elites calling the shots, and with good reason... a tide of populism is sweeping latin america, and mexico, along with argentina, uruguay, venezuela, brazil, and ecuador may have some interesting changes in the cards...
[Mexico City Mayor] Andrés Manuel López Obrador is considered the favorite to be elected president next year.

"What we saw last Sunday was proof that this is a new society," the mayor said during an interview last week, referring to the protest march, "that the traditional structures of power are not in control, not even with all their money and media."

the bushies and corporate amerika CANNOT be happy about this development on our southern border... bush had the chance to make a real ally out of mexico but instead chose to thumb his nose at them repeatedly... don't think the citizens didn't notice...
