[quote=”sweikert925″]You’re absolutely right, that was too broad a statement. How about “Some of the rest of us will be mildly interested in who wins.”?[/quote]
Sweik, you not having an investment or stake in Costa Rica (as many of us here do), your attitude doesn’t come as a surprise. And, as Rhett Butler would say about your level of interest, “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn!”.
Looks like Solis is in.He seems to be a decent fellow 🙄 Let’s see what he can do managing a mountain of incompetent dolts more worried about the next rendezvous with their brothers wife-sisters husband or texting their mommy to report that someone(probably me) called them a heavily perfumed cave dwelling idiot !
Solis it is ! Cold showers for everyone ! (porque electricidad es muy caro ahora)
My main concern was that a crypto communist like Villalta was thoroughly rejected by the Costa Rican people. That in itself is great news!

Too much recent history in Central and South America with his type…. (ie Hugo, Zelaya, and Danny to name a few) for folks to fall for that type of game in CR. As myopic as folks memories can be at times the recent, and in the case of Nicaragua on going, history had to be on voter’s minds as to the direction they want to take CR politics.
Fortunately (from those I’ve talked to) Costa Rica apparently also had a really good tourist season the last few months which gave a bit of a boost to the economy and the folks voting. Had we seen a poorer season the results might have been a little different!

His campaign was effective (unfortunately, in my view) in at least one regard. If I am not mistaken, he was the only 1 in the legislature from his “FA” party for the last 4 years, and in yesterday’s election I think the FA party captured 8 or 9 seats.
Certainly not a majority or anywhere near a majority, but that’s 8-9 seats that the larger, more established parties did not keep or secure.
NEWS FLASH:
Araya got 29% of the votes that means 71 voters out of a hundred voted against him.
Villalta the “communist got 17% or 17 voters out of a hundred, must be there are a lot of communist in CR,
Solis got 30% and is going to the second round. want to bet he WINS!!!!
This expat was there with my wife’s family (middle class) and NO ONE in the family of 20+ voted for Araya.
Watch channel 6 in CR and find out the truth.

What, exactly, is a “crypto communist”?You know one of the candidates who ran this time, Guevara, had run 3 times previously. Villalta is 36. You may not have heard the last of him.[/quote]
Crypto commies are hidden pinkos. Pinko’s that once they attain power begin to change the constitution to favor their party like Danny in Nicaragua. Once in power, like a cancer that begins to metastisize, and by that time it is too late. That’s why socialist-communists like Villalta who promises equality of poverty for all, yet riches for their elite must be nipped very early, or else a country is doomed like the Soviet Union 1917-1991. I know these pinkos and they don’t fool me.
