Mexican stump speeches

Of course, La Jornada doesn't cover Calderon's stump speeches (which I'm assuming he does make--it can't all be slick tv ads, which BTW, continue to be pulled for being too negative), but it does cover those by the PRI's Madrazo and the PRD's Lopez Obrador. Recently, Madrazo has said that he has no role in the decision of some party leaders to suggest that supporters of the PRI vote for AMLO rather than Madrazo (this was something a recent commenter asked about). Almost as if in response, AMLO has said the door to his campaign is open to all but former president Salinas and a few other folks.

Here, on the other side, WaPo (thanks, Boz) Rueters is doing its share to damage AMLO's North American image.

That would be Reuters, not the Washington Post. The Post website runs a bunch of wire stories that never make it into the paper.

Thanks! I clearly wasn't paying close attention. md

Henry, I thought that Calderon's people met with Dick Morris, though they ultimately didn't hire him...but I could be mistaken.

I wouldn't call AMLO a saint, but he's probably not as bad as that Reuters article would have folks believe.
