We Have a President!!

I'm pretty sure the Mexican presidential election this year took even longer to decide who is the president than the US presidential elections in 2004. Since July 2, it has been up in the air. I think it was Sept. 5 that they actually pronounced a for-sure winner. Felipe Calderon will become the next president of Mexico in December.
He beat Lopez Obrador (pictured below) by... 2000 votes! TWO THOUSAND VOTES. Millions of Mexicans voted (even some who died years ago voted... hmm) I don't even think that CAN happen in the US, with electoral college and stuff. Anyways, it probably wasn't a perfectly fair election, but I would've voted for Calderon, and not this guy:
So Calderon will succeed Fox:

Yay, elections are over, and we didn't have riots in Queretaro. Of course, most of this state supports the PAN, the political party of Calderon, so the only demonstrations that I heard of here were in favor of Calderon. In other parts of the country things are a bit ugly at times because of unsatified citizens.

In other news, it looks like I will be going to a Guadalajara CHIVAS v. Queretaro Gallos Blancos soccer game this wednesday!!! It's my first EVER professional soccer game, and my very favorite team (Chivas!) with my very favorite player (Oswaldo Sanchez, the goalie of Chivas and the Mexican national team) are playing in MY city!! Yay!
