Mexico Federal Election Returns IFE ^ | July 1, 2012 | rovenstinez

Before Midnight Mexico will announce the new President who will serve for the next 6 years. This ought to be of special interest to many people in the USA, especially those on the border states.

The “wrong” is, the one challenger (Democratic Revolution Party, Progressive Front) is a lot more commie, and the incumbent’s party, the one mildly reasonable, seemingly got bored with government and is bailing out; some of the campaign ads won’t even show the candidate.

>> It sounds like the communist party that had power for 71 years and was kicked out 12 years ago is going to win. <<

PRI isn't communist, just ultra corrupt. PRD is well to the left of them and was created in 1988 for people who didn't think PRI is liberal enough.

>> WTF is wrong with people <<

Bottom line: Is Mexico better off now with the "conservatives" in power, than they were 12 years ago? They've been as disastrous for Mexico as Obama has been for the USA. The whole country has been overrun with violence from drug cartels.

Because the so-called “Conservative” opposition is thoroughly milquetoast once in power and fundamentally refuses to engage in true, revolutionary change. Too timid and too lacking in balls.

Thanks. That explains it better than anything else I have seen so far.

Is it safe to say that PRD would be the party we least want to win?

I'd say so. Their coallition is called "Progressive Movement". These are their logos:

It depends on the perspective. If you were a conservative living in Mexico, you definitely would not want PRD to win. They're a bunch of demagogue socialists who believe in wealth redistribution and would govern like Hugo Chavez.

From the perspective of conservatives in America, PRD is the only major party in Mexico that DOESN'T believe in open borders. PAN and the crooks at PRI love open borders because of the money it brings home in Mexico. PRD views people fleeing their country as a national embarrassment and Castro-style socialists want to keep people from fleeing their country and will keep them there by force if necessary.

"PRD views people fleeing their country as a national embarrassment and Castro-style socialists want to keep people from fleeing their country and will keep them there by force if necessary."

Given the millions of criminal invaders in our country now and the hell they have created, I don't view this as a bad thing.

Very good coverage of this race on Aljezeera.com
We have come to the point that we have to go to foreign media to find out what’s happening

I do hope they mean theirs.

We might be better off letting them pick. I will take Felipe Calderón over Baraq Obama any day.

The guy that is leading is looking to sign an under the table truce with the cartels and let them operate unharassed by the government in exchange for an end to the violence.

I realize neither are good choices, but between the two, who should US conservatives root for to win?

I would hope for a Pan win, but it's not going to happen. I actually think part of the reason that the Pope visited Mexico, and that Cristiada (For Greater Glory in the US) was recently released was to remind Mexicans of the legacy of the Political Party that ruled uninterrupted for 70 years (until 2000 when PAN won).

The PRI, had such greats as Plutarco Calles, most noted for a fierce oppression of Catholics that led to the Cristero War, a civil war between Catholics and government forces in which 30,000 Catholics were killed, and for founding the Partido Nacional Revolucionario (National Revolutionary Party, or PNR), which eventually became the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).

The exit poll shows Pena Nieto of the PRI winning, but by a narrower margin than the pre-election polls.

The left-wing PRD candidate Lopez Obrador is running closer in the actual votes counted so far.

If you have Galavision on your cable or dish they are relaying Televisa coverage of the election en Espanol right now.

Contray to what every you can imagine, you’ve heard or been told. The Mexican Electoral process has several safety measures.

Of course they do...Ya think they want millions of illegals crippling and crushing their corrupt system?
