PJ endorsed Vecchio at the last minute, as a negotiating tool in exchange for getting E. Mendoza off their back and getting L. Lopez on bard. Did it work? We don't know. But it's hard to draw a distinction between MCM and PJ, they're all in the same boat. PJ didn't really have a candidate in this primary.Juan Cristobalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-32061253114477396232010-04-26T19:35:35.746+02:002010-04-26T19:35:35.746+02:00well, what do you know, the same post elicits two ...well, what do you know, the same post elicits two opposed views...<br /><br />let me repritn a line from this post:<br /><br />"It will be fascinating to write the story on how Primero Justicia blew away its strength there. "<br /><br />Maybe it was not clear, but my intention was only an executive summary without entering int the details of MCM personal merits and what not.<br /><br />However observe that Blyde, the NT mayor was sitting next to MCM during her victory press conference. Telling, no?<br /><br />PJ is not done with, by far, as it is penetrating other areas (it should, for example, get one of the Aragua seats). My point was that its original bastion, the Chacao Baruta corridor, is lost, with a surprising ease, for the time being.<br /><br />Then again the District voter is probably one of the best informed of Venezuela and is perfectly able to decide its vote on personality instead than party line. Not an excuse for PJ since it should know better and field a stronger candidate than Vecchio ad his laundry list, as commendable as that list was. Read my previous endorsement of MCM to understand what I mean.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128609182544333477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-69677233861273562302010-04-26T19:17:30.437+02:002010-04-26T19:17:30.437+02:00Daniel -- thanks for your analysis.
You're ...Daniel -- thanks for your analysis. <br /><br />You're not giving MCM enough credit. <br /><br />The vote didn't have anything to do with PJ -- MCM won because people wanted to see her in the Asamblea. She did a (mostly) good job as head of Sumate and she ran a good primary campaign. Many of those who supported her will continue to support PJ and their candidates in other races.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-58273394157245909482010-04-26T19:15:42.041+02:002010-04-26T19:15:42.041+02:00Daniel
