United We Stand! (or I'll shoot you)

By The Boss on Mar 5, 2008 | In Politics | Send feedback »

Panama has its own Hillary. Popular in the polls, but loathed in her own party. The talented sure-shot Balbina Herrera will try to take the presidency of the PRD at the congress March 9th. And then try to become the presidential nominee. But the perredistas know that she carries too much baggage - dignity battalions, scandals, the uncontrolled real estate swindles in this country...

So while campaigning in Chiriqui at the mini congresses the PRD is having, she declared that "all PRD delegates will go united to the PRD congress March 9, because it is part of the path towards the 2009 elections and we need a strong and winning party". Ah, yes. That's why she was yelling and screaming at El Toro the other day. United we stand.
