In Chile, It's Pinera

Frei and Pinera appear together with their families. The concession essentially took place right here. Talk about putting on a brave face.

No, they are not announcing a unity government nor were these two on the same slate. A strange but amazing tradition considering Chile's recent anti-democratic history.

Transparency at every turn. With the cameras on, Presidenta Bachelet wishes Eduardo Frei well and resists calling him a huevon for blowing the election, even though she has record approval ratings.

Pinera is on his way to el Palacio de la Moneda with a 3%+ advantage. The first democratically elected rightest government in 50 years.
