Foreign Correspondence

No way: "I would guess Aleman unless he has completely severed himself from U.S. support." US certainly not going to support Aleman, not a chance. Aleman rightly found guilty of corruption, most Nicaraguan people do not like him

US would likely prefer Eduardo Montealegre, but he appears politically inept and unlikely to win...

It will take some skillful political movements, but believe Herty Lewites most likely to be eventual winner. Ortega outlawed Sandanista primary elections which Lewites would have easily won over Ortega. Lewites is most popular Nicaraguan leader, with over 70% of Nicaraguans favoring him for President. His greatest problem will be outmaneuvering Ortega and his party machine to actually become President...

Believe US would not mind Lewites as President. Believe US position is anyone but Ortega and to have fourth successive Nicaraguan free and fair election.

Here is a nice post, also review RNC board for more posts on recent Nicaragua political developments, Nicaragua has very interesting political scene...
