Mexican conservatives

A Reuters News article says that conservative candidate Felipe Calderon is leading in the polls 38 percent to 33 over his opponent Andres Obredor. Both are running to take the place of President Vincente Fox, who cannot run again.

No clear word on their views on illegal immigration. Hmm. Maybe it just didn't come up? Maybe Mexican politics are the anti-matter of American politics- a strange world where everything is backwards and nothing is as it seems. Where a conservative candidate for president is actually in favor of immigration, though his party generally isn't. And if the two collide, everything blows up.

Oh, wait a minute.
