Another note on AMLO: During his "Loyalty Tour," the PRD's 2006 presidential candidate argued that "the triumph of reaction, as Juárez said, is morally impossible."
Like AMLO, I am also an admirer of Benito Juárez, and while I admit I am hardly an expert on this great Mexican president, I have never found the actual context where Juárez is supposed to have uttered this statement, which AMLO has repeated often in the past. And given AMLO's denunciation of institutions and refusal to accept near any loss, it is frankly more than a bit worrisome: Is also the electoral victory of the right deemed to be an impossibility? That is, will AMLO reject say a PAN-PRD victory in 2011 using the same argument, that it is simply "morally impossible"?
