Con el apoyo casi total de su partido, Andrés Manuel López Obrador renunció a su puesto como alcalde de la ciudad de México D.F. para postularse como candidato a la presidencia de México en las elecciones del 2006.

Educado en Harvard, a quien el New York Times una vez describiera como “una hombre que habla con todo el fuego e ímpetu de un economista” fue percibido por la opinión pública en México como un candidato de derecha, amigo de empresarios. En este comercial es evidente el esfuerzo por convertirlo en una antítesis del otro contendiente fuerte en las elecciones presidenciales de México del 2006: Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador.

Should government pump money into the economy and generate jobs by financing giant public works projects? In the extremely close Mexican presidential election of 2006 (which he lost), Andrés Manuel López Obrador made it clear that that his answer is a decisive ¡Sí!

López Obrador’s campaign commercials really try to shake potential voters out of their sillas, attempting to give the potentially marginalized a strong message: “now it’s our turn, now it’s your turn!” He blatantly positions himself against the rich, those who “take the biggest piece of the cake.”

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.

Felipe Calderón is running for president of Mexico as the candidate of PAN, Partido Acción Nacional. “The National Action Party” is also the party of Mexico’s current president, Vicente Fox. Felipe’s campaign slogan? Para que Vivamos Mejor, “So we can live better.” We know there must a word play parody of this phrase, but we haven’t found it yet!
