I don' think Navarro would have shut us down. He might have made a show of testing water quality or something along those lines but there's too much money in the ground for anyone who's not a lunatic to start playing games with the miners. But I guess we'll never know.
It's interesting, Martinelli's public works projects and the $100 to jubilados really seem to have eroded a lot of support that the PRD usually counts on. And I thought Navarro was a pretty good candidate, MUCH better than Balbina certainly.
So as far as I can tell the PRD bled some votes to CD while a huge number of the non-aligned voters went with Varela as the least unpalatable choice. If any of the Panamanian polling outfits were worth a damn I would be interested to see exactly how this went down.
One thing is certain, though, and that's no one listens to Mireya anymore. I think everyone wins on that deal.
Anyway, back to work. Let's get this deal done and get back to making money.
