Today is Sunday, no alcohol can be purchased in Oaxaca, and a federal helicopter has made a pass or two over the city. It’s election day in Oaxaca and 12 other states, plus the Mexico City. Polls don’t close until 6:00 PM, but rumor has it, a PRI victory party is already being set up in the Plaza de la Danza. Hmmm…
Yesterday, on the way to dinner, we stopped to watch the take down of the newly installed sculpture of Jesús in front of Santo Domingo. This shot seems to be a metaphor for today’s election.

Explain: “take down of statue of Jesus. I must be missing something.
It wasn’t the removal of the Jesús sculpture that I was commenting on. It was the photo — the juxtaposition of the Jesús with hand raised to the Rentame (Rent me) sign.
when do you find out who is the next gobernador ??
PRI began setting up a huge stage and sound system in the Plaza de la Danza early Sunday morning. Hmmm… Noisy rally with very LOUD music began an hour after the polls closed. And, surprise, surprise, Alejandro Murat (son of a previous PRI governor) won with 32% of the vote (PAN/PRD Alliance 25% ; Morena 22.8% ; PT 10.9%). No joy in mudville. ;-(
