The odd thing is that those polar opposites are the MAS crowd and "oligarchs". Wouldn't want to side with EITHER of them. On the other hand, were and how did Goni learn to govern? or Evo? Banzer? our past presidential history is that of self-made men, Mesa is no exception. wow… and MAS has such a precedent “governing”…

Do they mean law & order? Or better, "pan, orden, trabajao"? I mean, there's a fine line that democratic authority walks where it combines authority w/ popular legitimacy ... but I'm not sure many of the Bolivian populist leaders (on all sides of the fence) are savvy enough to notice that fine line. And I don't think Mesa does, either. What’s beginning to scare me, is this idea of what “gobernar” seems to mean in Bolivian context. Do they mean law & order? Or better, “pan, orden, trabajao”?
