Lopez Obrador is taken out of 2006 Mexican presidential race

He says he wants to be arrested so he can run from prison even though according to Mexican law you can't run for office if you have been charged with a crime. What the ****?!

He's way ahead in the polls too, even now. I bet they never charge him.

edit: Here's some information on his policies.

President Fox could pardon him though, if he is convicted.

Thanks for offering your thoughts, Master Zen.
This thread really needed a native viewpoint to save it from commies.

Not so strange

Fox is worried that his last year and half might be mired by protest and shunned by the world media considering he had been a world darling up to now

If he pardons him, he ends up giving him a free run to win in 2006 as a landslide.

I sure as hell would not want to be in Fox's shoes right now
