Peru Election Results

Alan Garcia won Sunday's presidential election in Peru, and lovers of democracy can breathe a sigh of relief at the fact that Hugo Chavez will NOT have a friend in Peru. Ollanta Humala, a far-leftist with ties to Chavez and other Latin American radicals, was soundly defeated. Garcia may be a socialist, but at least he's a moderate socialist who loves democracy and abhors Chavismo (Chavez-ism). Viva Peru!
