This is Brent "BOOGIE-TIL-YOU-DROP" Condorito. On a side note, those of you familiar with Nicaragua know we are all waiting to see what happens in this Sunday's Presidential Election. Current standings of the candidates are difficult to judge as biased polls are released almost daily - more to sway voters one way or another rather than indicate the sentiment of the people. By our best estimates and in every poll, Ortega (the bad guy) has a commanding lead somewhere between 30% and 38% depending on where you get your information. The controversy now is about who has the most second place votes and hence, the best chance to take him down: Montealegre or Rizo. Most people show Montealegre with a slight lead over Rizo, but who really knows. So, with only 35% and a 5% margin over 2nd place needed to win the first round - the important thing is for everyone to get out and vote. Every vote that is not for Ortega helps to reduce his chances for getting 35% - it doesn't even matter who you vote for - as long as it's not him. At any rate, it's going to be close...
