%51! Damn, Evo & MAS Wins Elections in Bolivia

I’m shocked, and pleased. The left coalition behind Evo Morales and Alvaro Garcia Lineras has won the election in the first round with a majority! This means they actually will be able to take power. I thought this was a very unlikely outcome… In the latest polls Evo as getting about %35. I guess it just goes to show that if you are looking at a canidate with more support in el campo, you can’t just poll people with phones or who live in the cities.

This marks a major shift for the left in bolivia. It’s not an end of the struggle, but a major shift in direction.
