Upcoming Mexican election.(Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador)(Brief article)
Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the former mayor of Mexico City and until recently the odds-on favorite to win Mexico's July 2 presidential election, promises to cut government spending while launching new welfare and public works programs to aid the poor. Lopez Obrador (popularly known as AMLO, an appellation he has adopted on his own website) is a radical leftist who many observers believe would lead Mexico into political alignment with Cuba's Fidel Castro, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, Brazil's Lula da Silva, and other Marxists who have taken power throughout Latin America. Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz.) reportedly has seen intelligence reports confirming that AMLO has received funding from Hugo Chavez. With Mexico and Venezuela providing over one-third of U.S. oil imports, a Chavez-AMLO oil axis would not be a calming prospect for American energy users.
