...populist record while running Mexico's gargantuan capital was largely positive. And opponents' attempts to paint him as a Mexican Hugo Ch?vez, the radically leftist and stridently anti-U.S. President of Venezuela, have gained little traction. Part of that is because L?pez takes pains to pair his social welfare ambitions with an investment-friendly business sense that Wall Street, for example, has found appealing in other modern Latin leftists like Brazilian President Luiz In?cio Lula da Silva...
...Many have argued that the U.S. pressure against Jaafari and his current chief political ally, firebrand cleric Moqtada al Sadr, could actually backfire and bolster their position with a wave of anti-U.S. sentiment.

While the Chavez government favored Solis' candidacy, Solis insists he distanced himself during his campaign from Chavez's more radical anti-U.S. policies. As Solis himself wrote in an email to TIME, "I am sure you know that I have been highly critical of Chavez populism and gut antagonism towards the USA.
