Putting aside 1988 for the purposes of this post,
since 1994 there have been three luchadores in Mexico's
electoral ring; the PAN, the PRD, and the PRI. Since that time, no single
candidate has gained over 50% of the vote and Pena-Nieto won't clear the magic number tonight either. Which is to say that more voters have voted against the winning
candidate than have voted for the new mandatario.
Nevertheless, neither Fox nor Calderon pushed for a
run-off presidential election system. Instead they squandered their political
capital on the pointless war on drugs.
