Mexico: Paticia Mercado “Wins” First Presidential Debate

Categories: Latin America, Mexico, Politics

Eduardo Arcos live-blogged last night's presidential debate in Mexico (ES) [1]. Arcos says it was leftist outsider (and blogger [2]), Patricia Mercado who won the debate. Goleech agrees (ES) [3], but says that Felipe Calderón of the conservative PAN party also left in good shape. Boz says [4] that “By not participating in the debate, [leftist frontrunner Lopez Obrador] avoided making any major errors, but he also didn't take the opportunity to swing the election momentum back his way.”
