I'll have to admit I actually had some hopes for Mr. Pena Nieto: he seemed like a real step up from Felipe Calderon, whom, btw, might just have basically stolen the 2006 elections if the PRD's allegations are correct.....but now I'm not so sure. Guess I shouldn't have expected so much from a PRI candidate.
