Felipe: Do you speak English?

In an interview with the Washington Post Felipe Calderón said that "he would accept a partial recount but that a complete recount would be "absurd" and illegal."

"Calderón and his legal team contend that Mexican election law will allow only the reopening and recounting of sealed voting packets that appear to have been altered or have other irregularities. The legal contest is the stiffest challenge ever for the court, which has annulled some local and gubernatorial elections but has never heard a case of this magnitude.

While the court is reviewing the case, Calderón said, he will attempt to prevent "the escalation of tensions" by refusing to call his supporters into the streets to counter López Obrador's. But Calderón said he expects López Obrador to continue calling for massive protests because "he is a man who has habitually not respected the law."

Comment: During the interview, Washington Post correspondant in Mexico Manuel Roig-Franzia asked when the public might hear the Harvard educated Calderón speak English, Felipe said he "needed to do something first, he said: practice." Well we have heard Felipe speak English, a couple of times, on my radio show Imagen News. He did quite well...
