...electoral tribunal could simply ratify the provisional results it released earlier, and name Calderón as winner. That would be legal, but might lack legitimacy in the eyes of much of the population, whose skepticism is fueled by a longstanding tradition of electoral fraud.

In every other way - as adventure yarn or as satire on that form or merely as an enjoyable entertainment featuring a wonderfully sly and subtle actor - it is not merely a loser. It is a disaster...
...directly into the c550, so that you can play your music through it, and still hear the turn commands and phone calls. My sources indicate that something like this is being researched, but in the meantime, I can safely say that after all of the testing, we have a winner...
