Calderón is president-elect but it's FAR from over

since i've been following the run-up to the mexican elections for almost a year and keeping a close eye on the aftermath, it pains me to make this post...

Mexican Court Declares Calderón President-Elect

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 5 -- Felipe Calderón, a former energy minister and onetime long-shot candidate, was unanimously declared president-elect of Mexico on Tuesday in a court decision that capped a two-month legal battle but did not end the nation's political crisis.

for sure, the nation's political crisis is FAR from over... the poor have never been so close to having a voice in the national government, and they're not going to go away quietly...
