Is AMLO Folding?

An interesting story from Reuters just came across the wires. One of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's closest advisers admitted that AMLO believes the Mexican election court will declare Felipe Calderon to be the winner of the election. AMLO still believes he was cheated. But no mention was made at all that AMLO would form a parallel fake government or continue his protests.

Mexico's top electoral tribunal this week rejected most of leftist candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's claims of vote fraud, almost guaranteeing Calderon the presidency.

Manuel Camacho Solis, one of Lopez Obrador's top advisors, said the leftist believed the court would seal his fate in the next few days by ruling the election was clean and formally announcing Calderon as the winner.

"Yes, that's the evaluation That's the way it will be," he told Reuters when asked if Lopez Obrador feared the court would declare Calderon president-elect.

So maybe he'll back down on this. We'll see.
