Washington Post Article on Evo Morales and the Elections

The Washington Post was in town a couple of weeks ago to do their opening shot at reporting on the "Evo phenomena" (my words, not the Post's). On the assumption that Bolivia's elections will eventually go forward (still my bet) an army of foreign press is on its way here to report the story. Some do a better job than others.

I think that Monte Reel at the Post (with help from Bill Faries) did a fine job of capturing the emotions on the street that power the Morales candidacy, as well as where Morales himself is coming from and the solid criticisms leveled against him.

For those interested in what is going on, the piece is well worth a read. Here is the link. And full disclosure, I spoke with the reporters when they were here.
