This is an *important* point. Having a left-of-center government abutting
the USA, even if it is on the tepid side, would have much more impact on
our politics than a firebrand being elected in Paraguay. I have a feeling,
however, that his very tepidness insures that Calderon will be president
just as Bush was in 2000 and 2004.
