Peruvian Presidential Elections

This Sunday, April 9, 2006 Peruvian Presidential eElections took place. I would like to give my view on this, but since I have been sick, it is hard for me to keep a continuous train of thought. Still I could not pass it over without making a note. As this New York Times article points out, we are heading for a run off. Klephblog gives a good show overview of the candidates. And I think has the a statement that characterizes most Peruvian candidates in every election:

One gentleman interviewed on television recently described the choice between them [the candidates] as “being forced to choose between AIDS and cancer.”

That is Peruvian politics for you...
