History Repeating? (Again?)

Hmm,..where have we heard this before:

Supporters of Mexico's Leftist Candidate Obrador Take to Streets
Sunday, July 09, 2006

MEXICO CITY — More than 100,000 defiant supporters of leftist presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador massed Saturday in a bid to overturn his narrow election defeat with protests that threatened to widen Mexico's regional and class divisions.

Lopez Obrador told the huge crowd he would present allegations of fraud to the nation's electoral court Monday and request that every one of more than 41 million votes be recounted, to expose what he called wrongdoing that cost him the election.

The show of defiance suggested just how difficult it will be for apparent victor Felipe Calderon to unify Mexicans, many of whom believe the nation has yet to overcome decades of institutional corruption and fraud.

European Union election observers have said they had found no major irregularities.

But the ruling party's Calderon can't be declared president-elect until the electoral court weighs allegations of fraud or unfair campaign practices. It has until Sept. 6 to declare a winner.


The TrekMedic muses:

I wonder how you say "Selected, no Elected" and "Let's not elect Calderon in 2010, either!" en Espanol?
