Just ...Oh, one other thing I neglected to mention.<br /><br />Just so you'll know, it's not proper English to say "make a research." One MAKES a bed, a chocolate pie or a change in their life (if they're frustrated with the way it's going, for instance). One DOES research, however (better yet, "conducts" research).<br /><br />Perhaps you're a student of English, or perhaps it's your native language. Either way, I hope this point will help you in future communications.Edward V.

Re...No, it's not a "false statement." Read this post, where I explain the details which apparently trouble you: http://mexicogulfreporter.blogspot.com/2012/02/josefina-vazquez-mota-sweeps-pan.html (as of today it's in the most popular column on the right, but you missed it, obviously). As a technical matter, there have been something on the order of 15 women presidential candidates in the history of Mexico -- all of them advanced by petty, insignificant parties which had utterly no chance of winning. Josefina is the first female candidate who DOES have a very real chance of winning, because she is the standard bearer of a major party, PAN. Everybody understands that -- everybody but you, I guess -- when they commonly refer to Josefina as the "first."<br /><br />Thanks for writing, and I hope this comforts you. Next time tell us who you are, so we can connect a name to the subliminal hostility.Edward V.

One is Patricia Mercado and another is Cecilia Soto. Please make a research before making a false statement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
