Calderon confirmed as president elect of Mexico

Mexico’s Federal Electoral Tribunal confirmed Felipe Calderon as president-elect about two months after elections took place. The Tribunal ruled that Calderon (image via ABC News) was the winner by slightly over 0.5% and its decision cannot be appealed. As part of its ruling, the Tribunal rejected claims by candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) that Calderon ran a “dirty campaign” though the court did blast President Vicente Fox for putting “the election at risk” through his comments during the campaign period.

So how have bloggers reacted to the news? Here’s a small sample:
