Manuel Rosales se postuló a la presidencia de Venezuela en contra de la candidatura de Hugo Chávez. Tenía el respaldo de una buena porción de las clases medias y altas del país, sin embargo ésto no fue suficiente para vencer la enorme popularidad de Hugo Chávez.

Harvard-educated Felipe Calderón, who the New York Times calls “a dapper man who speaks with all the fire of an economist,” is perceived as the safe, business-friendly presidential candidate. This video carefully cultivates a persona antithetical to the rougher-hewn López Obrador.

Does Felipe Calderón love his children? We are quite sure that he does. If this promotional video for the possible heir to fellow PANista Vicente Foxe seems to you to have a “North of the border” slickness, it may not be simply coincidental.
