Update: 27.12% reporting: Calderon 39.31%, AMLO 36.29%, Pintado 19.42%
Update II: 29.95% reporting: Calderon: 38.48%, AMLO 35.68%, Pintado 19.13% Source
Update III: Regardless of who wins the presidency, conservatives will have a plurality in the House and Senate, with about 35% in each

Update VI: President Fox is on TV saying that results will not be known for sure until Wednesday. This is amazing. First Florida in 2000, then Italy 2006, and now Mexico 2006!!!

It is absolutely critical to Mexico's future - and to our chances of effective control of illegal immigration of Mexicans - that Calderon win, and be successful in implementing the reforms that Fox has failed completely to pass.
An AMLO victory will lead to a near-complete meltdown of the financial and business infrastructure, creating millions more likely to flee north.

Adjoran - I disagree with your comment. What is critical is not who wins, but that, regardless of who wins, Mexicans respect the democratic process. If a disputed Calderon win results in a breakdown of Mexican democracy, that would be much, much worse for Mexico's fiscal and social well-being than if Lopez Obrador wins without such a breakdown. You can pray for a Calderon win, but I'd recommend praying harder for respect for the Democratic process.
