Reuters is reporting the election results:
A relaxed Calderon led supporters in a noisy party at his ruling National Action Party’s offices and immediately called on his adversaries to forget an ugly and fiercely contested election that has plunged Mexico into a political crisis.
“If the contest is behind us, our differences are behind us. Now is the hour for unity and agreements between Mexicans,” said Calderon, a pro-U.S. former energy minister.
Calderon, 43, would be an ally of the United States in Latin America, where leftists have taken power in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Uruguay and Venezuela and turned away from Washington.
At home, Calderon promises to clamp down on violent criminals and powerful drug trafficking gangs as well as create millions of jobs with pro-business reforms, more foreign investment and a boom in construction.
He was the clear favorite of investors and Mexico’s financial markets jumped on news of his victory. The stock market was up 2.5 percent in afternoon trade and the peso currency gained 1.6 percent.
Now will he agree to quit printing and making all that literature on how to sneak across the border help build a border fence and take back those illegals in this country:roll:
