How about this!! The recent mid-term elections were covered quite differently both across the country and around the world. Some European papers down played the election as ho-hum; while other played it as a near overthrowing of the United States. This should give you something to work with.

The government (still under Uribe as it is still Sunday and the polls are still open) is rather efficient as it has done quite a fair bit towards the reduction of FARC activities. Uribe plans to get rid of them totally so that we can be safer when we leave our homes for the outskirts where FARC is currently controlling (although there are indeed fewer now).\n\nThe weather, esp the rains, have been terrible and many areas have seen floods (about 40cm) which resulted in people either moving to the second floor of their buildings or moving out temporarily. A gas pipe was damamged by the rains in Bogota a couple of days ago, and in less than 2 days, all was well again.\n\nI'm glad that I came to work in Colombia, as it is a beautiful country with beautiful people; from the city of Bogota to the Amazonas, from the beaches of Cartegena to the mountains of Los Nevados... Don't just believe all that you read, come here and you will experience a hospitality like no other South American country!!!

Alberto Fujimori - President of Peru between 1990 - 2000, the first East Asian man to be leader of a Latin-American country. \nHe went back Japan after that, then intended to go back Peru for President Election in 2005, but was arrested in Chile and sent to Peru for some scandals during his leading time.

I believe they won. I have talked to alot of people that feel voting is a waste of time because of the past elections.\nThe sad truth is these people would vote Democrat.\nI pray I am wrong but alot of people feel the last Bush/Republican elections were stolen .\nThey did not scare them but make them believe they had no voice.\nBy the way Bush choose to ignore N.Korea.\nAnd if taxes are not raised how do you propose we buy back AMERICA from the foreign investors that we are in debt to because of the current Administration. Hate to tell you but as of right now America is not owned by us due to our huge deficit.\nSo you can keep your money with a Republican Administration but what are you going to do when the foreign countries come to foreclose on the USA????

I think they will fizzle out. The guy who was expected to win in Mexico is actually trailing. He has been so arrogant the the people are getting turned off. No the PAN candidate is given a good chance of winning.

Paperwork you need to do to get married in Peru:\n\nSingle hood certificate\nBirth certificate\n\nBoth for international use.  Take them to the Peruvian consulate or Embassy of your area (by post works also) to get them verified.\n\nYour fiance can manage the rest in Lima.\n\nVerification of signatures in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Lima)\nIf translation necessary also verification of the signature of the translator.  (must be a Ministry's approved translator)\n\nThen later in Lima you will need to pass a medical test and that's all what is needed from your side.

It isn't. They run candidates. They just don't get many votes.

ELECTIONS-NICARAGUA:\nThe Sandinistas Are Back\nJosé Adán Silva\n\nMANAGUA, Nov 6 (IPS) - They swore they would return. And today, 16 years after losing their grip on power in national elections, Nicaragua's Sandinistas appear to have made it back, according to the preliminary results from Sunday's elections. \n\nThe leftist Sandinista National Liberation Front's (FSLN) presidential candidate Daniel Ortega took 40 percent of the vote, while the right-wing Eduardo Montealegre of the Nicaraguan Liberal Alliance (ALN) and José Rizo of the Constitutionalist Liberal Party (PLC) garnered 33 and 20 percent, respectively, the Supreme Electoral Court announced after 40 percent of the votes were tallied. \n\nUnder Nicaraguan law, Ortega needs either 40 percent of the vote, or just 35 percent and a five-point lead over his nearest rival, to avoid a run-off. \n\nThe news that Ortega was ahead prompted FSLN supporters to take to the streets to celebrate, with flags, t-shirts and signs bearing Ortega's image, while singing protest songs and election jingles. \n\nInternational election observers sent by the Organisation of American States (OAS), the European Union and the Carter Centre (led by former U.S. president Jimmy Carter) said the elections went smoothly and were clean and transparent. \n\nOnly the mission of observers sent by the White House issued a statement reporting "anomalies". \n\nTwo local non-governmental election monitoring groups, the Institute for the Development of Democracy, and Ethics and Transparency, issued their own parallel counts, based on information gathered by more than 12,000 observers. \n\nAccording to their results, former president Ortega (1985-1990) will score a first-round victory. \n\nEthics and Transparency gave Ortega 38.5 percent of the vote and a nearly 10 percent lead over Montealegre, said the group's president, Pablo Ayón. \n\nThe watchdog group said Montealegre took 29.5 percent, Rizo 24 percent, and Edmundo Jarquín of the Sandinista Renewal Movement, a dissident faction of the FSLN, 7.4 percent -- similar to the 7.5 percent reported by the official tally. \n\n"We understand that some candidates have doubts and say they might have actually performed better, but our results, which no one can object to, will not be affected by the ‘irregularities' that were mentioned," Ayón told IPS. \n\nThe Institute for the Development of Democracy, meanwhile, said its findings showed that Ortega was ahead with 39 percent of the vote, while Montealegre took 29 percent and Rizo 25 percent. \n\n"These are not official results, but we have all of the elements necessary to reliably state that these tendencies will not budge," Mauricio Zuñiga, the head of the Institute, told IPS. "It must be recognised: Ortega won." \n\nSo far, the ALN and PLC candidates have refused to accept either the official or unofficial results, and have not ruled out the possibility of a "surprise" in the final count. \n\nMontealegre is demanding a vote-by-vote recount -- something that is not provided for in Nicaragua's election laws. \n\nThe ALN candidate said that according to his own tally and those of "serious organisations," the outcome points to the need for a second round, and protested that "irregularities" were committed. \n\nRizo also called for a recount, even though the final tally has not even been completed. \n\n"The PLC can't lose like this, the counting of our rural votes has not been completed, and we are not going to accept any winner until the very last vote is counted," said the party's spokesman Leonel Téller. \n\nThe 60-year-old Ortega first seized power in 1979 after the FSLN guerrillas overthrew the brutal Somoza family dictatorship -- which ruled the country for 40 years -- and established a revolutionary junta. \n\nIn 1984, Ortega ran for president and won the elections in the midst of a bloody

Yes, the terrorists may see it as a win.  President Bush even addressed that possiblity in his speech yesterday.   Let them celebrate if that is what they want to do, they have underestimated America before to their dismay and they will do so again if they think that this election was a sign of weakness.  They don't have a clue as to how much power the people in this country weld peacefully by voting.  They are only use to ruling by brutality and death.   They will NEVER win as long as this country and the free world stands strong against  them and what they represent.

Tough question, in macroeconomic terms you could say he was one of the best presidents Peru has had in the last 20-30 years. However, in micro economic terms, the situation seem to have gotten worse than in the previous government of Fujimori. \n\nHis government was also plagued with scandals and corruptions at many different levels, an will be remembered for having one of the lower approval ratings ever, as low as 6%.  \n\nHowever, he also restored a high degree of democracy and respect for human rights which was lost during the government of Fujimori.\n\nI think if you asked the majority of the population, they will tell you it was bad. If you ask the business people involved in exports, they will tell you it was quite good.

I'm from Mexico, and I think that saying is true to a segment of the population, because, unfortunately, there's many people that exchange their vote for money, or for food, and stuff like that... This happens because most of the people that vote have no education, or at least not the necessary level to understand what's better for the country, for example, right now, there's a party which candidate is, I really don't know the word, but he's so bad for our country that, if he wins, we'll be like in Cuba, but the people think that everything that he says is good, because they don't really know what politics are about...\nThat's why that saying is not applicable for everyone...\nSomething good for my country: there are so many things to change and a level of corruption that's difficult to overpass, that I really don't know if there's a solution...
