Rival denounces opponent as communist in Ecuador ***QUITO, Ecuador -- A retired colonel who won the most votes in the first round of Ecuador's presidential election appealed Monday for support, but his millionaire opponent denounced him as a "Fidel Castro-style communist" who would wreck this Andean nation.
