Where’s the hemisphere going politically? Boz has an excellent news roundup showing the latest political cross currents. Among these are a poll showing left-leaning Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador dropping down in the Mexican polls, Evo Morales of Bolivia apparently ticking downward, Michelle Bachelet of Chile a little lower and possibly facing a runoff and Lourdes Flores in Peru holding her lead (and I’m really glad the godawful Alan Garcia can’t get more than 15%). There are a host of smaller indicators of public sentiment too. Go read the whole thing here.
