Hello, WaPo...! You suck and, besides, it ain't over until the fat lady sings...

the wapo editorial, in typical parroting of the standard u.s. line, insists on declaring amlo the loser BEFORE the elections institute renders its decision, and then adds insult to injury by accusing amlo of being "anti-democracy," in the wapo's mind, clearly an accusation right up there with exposing yourself to little children on the playground...
An Anti-Democracy Campaign

Andres Manuel López Obrador's attempt to win Mexico's presidential election with populist promises and posturing was a failure: He repelled Mexicans who don't want their country to drop out of the 21st century, blew a large lead in the polls and ended up losing by a narrow margin to Felipe Calderón.

reading shit like this pisses me off so bad... at least i have some perspective with which to decide for myself rather than having my head filled with propagandistic drivel calculated to make me see amlo as a horned demon... too bad that a lot of readers will take it at face value...
