Well he's also wrong about "Wall Street". I think he's confused the Mexican stock market with the American. According to the article he said the market closed up 4.77%, the second highest one day advance this year. The Dow closed up 0.7 percent today.

The headline of an earlier Reuters story today was even better. "Conservative creeps to victory in Mexico". Somehow if the leftist had been gaining, he would have been surging, not creeping. They also had another headline up that they just changed as I was watching. It said "Mexican standoff leaves markets on edge" and was changed to "Mexican vote standoff leaves markets on edge".....guess someone pointed out the bit of politically incorrectness in the first version.

If Obrador were winning by this margin it would be called a landslide-mandate
