beat all records

20 The real competition appears to be between Santos and Mockus, but both against abstention. The question is not whether you win one or the other, it is not disputed and not even a topic of conversation. Juan Manuel Santos
not lose the second round. That is clear and has a mathematical chance of losing not mean in any way that there are possibilities Mockus policies that make the winner. However, it is not won by one vote, to win by three million or ten. This is what is at stake and for which neither the Greens can afford to get less than three million votes-those of the first round, and Santos not to repeat the six and a half million votes on May 30. Neither Saints nor
Mockus generate passion of multitudes, and great love and great hatred. Santos leads the tide Uribe is no longer the highest level and tide Mockus presages a time that promises us will come but not yet arrived. Uribe and Santos not Mockus not Savonarola. No polarized in one direction or another, can hardly hope to lead as best they can a society and even tame resignation had legitimized their vote Uribe's third term. Both came to an unexpected end and they imagined before the Constitutional Court disapproved of the referendum reelection. So, a two-round invite more people to abstain than to vote and do not compromise in any way the legacy of Uribe. Neither the democratic security and investor confidence are at risk, and social cohesion of drool as tight as we can only trust Uribe left to improve is to Santos, is with Mockus.
However, it is irrelevant that the result of 20 is closer to the concrete tie or the win that new and old Uribe Santistas predict with enthusiasm. Speaking today to tie it sounds crazy, and many ridiculous and laughable, and to predict a vote for Santos exceeding ten million votes seems at hand. The paper can resist anything from the unlikely hypothesis that Mockus tie-up would be a resounding victory "until a score of ten million to one or two million Mockus certainly deserves neither would do well to Colombian democracy. So I am inclined to think that for the good of everyone, including winners and losers, as healthy for the democratic system would be the victory of one or the other by a respectable but not overwhelming margin. I fear less the bad losers than winners ill. Among other things because bad winners boast after disaster ruling and making political capital. In contrast, the losers, it is better to lose by little and do not become discouraged and self-criticism, because if they lose by a lot are tempted to throw in the towel and leave the ground too clear the triumphalism of those who won.
All this to say to celebrate with wins democratic spirit that wins Mockus Santos or whether it also provides that whoever wins does not exceed 60% and whoever loses will not receive less than 40%. I scare a win of 70% to 30% and terrify me a victory of 80% to 20%. Is that democracy is not consistent with the unanimity, and the overwhelming majority is sufficient guarantee for the vast minority. For this reason and because I prefer switching to more of the same, my vote is sung on June 20. And not only that, but because Mockus has a meaning that goes beyond the merely political, it only circumstantial. Mockus, with its lights flashing and his genius-skilled homeopathic chest cold but would the plank-Argentine, Colombia embodies many we would if we dared, we wish that we deserve if we do not feel guilty, we dream when we dream really , which is just around the corner if only we were eager to take a few steps instead of remaining motionless, overwhelmed by the weight of disappointment and death around the corner.
Juan Manuel not to blame for everything happens to us, so do not feel that Colombia loses if he wins, or they would die the hopes for peace and progress if he is elected President. It is not, nor is Mockus, is more what they stand for what they are, the more you express who you vote for them, that they, that of not being faced up could be a good formula presidential. By the way, something very noble and good with both candidates and that reassures me, one has to Angelino and the other has to Fajardo.
What makes me think that if National Unity is true and not pure electoral wagon may peace and reconciliation are so close with some than with others, and this really would be something worth applauding. At least Angelino Garzon said that if he becomes vice president will take into account to manage the minimum the peace that drives the Church.
For this and much more, too optimistic and believe in good over all evil my vote is sung but not tied up, calm my heart and my sincere congratulations to both the wins and who loses, not one is Messiah or the other emperor, neither one knows it all and the other owns the moral.
That this world did not come to teach but to learn.
So I see myself.
