The possible big winner of Sunday’s elections: George W. Bush

The Bush administration may very well come out on top after this weekend’s elections for constitutional assembly in Bolivia and the presidency in Mexico. Though supporters of Evo Morales won about 53% of seats for the constitutional assembly, pro-Morales factions may have trouble getting the minimum 2/3 vote to change the constitution. The U.S. government would be very pleased with a status quo regime in Mexico, assuming Felipe Calderon becomes their next president of Mexico. (So far Calderon is holding an unofficial, razor-thin 1% lead over Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador).
