Blast From The Past
Never say die:
The LAT and NYT off-lead, while everybody else fronts, word from the elections in Nicaragua, where it looks like Daniel Ortega, the former president and Sandinista leader, is headed for victory. With 62 percent of the votes counted, Ortega was leading with 39 percent, compared with his main challenger's 31 percent. The victory is seen as a setback for the Bush administration, which tried to discourage Nicaraguans from voting for the former Marxist president.
Next up, Ollie North will join the Bush administration.
