Portillo, however, has an excellent shot at taking the December 26 election, because he's likely to absorb the 7 percent of voters who favored the candidate of a Marxist party fielded by ex-guerrillas. While Portillo's party, like the ruling party, is considered right-wing and is run by a former military dictator...
