Mexico Faces Stark Choices in Election

Mexico will choose a new President on Sunday. While the historic vote is important for Mexico, it will also have big implications for the United States. On the right, Felipe Calderon could be a close ally, and he's already promised to act as a counterweight to Venezuelan President -- and U.S. nemesis -- Hugo Chavez.
