The worst thing that could happen for Mexico's exchange rate would be a victory by the ruling party's José Antonio Meade, not a win by populist frontrunner Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO). If the governing PRI wins 2 of 9 gubernatorial races, it should count itself lucky. One bright spot in the midst of this election cycle is agreement that something needs to be done about Mexico's stubbornly high poverty levels.
