COLOMBIA: Prez Candidate Santos Disses Mockus As Lead Dwindles.
COLOMBIA REPORTS/ In an interview in his family's newspaper El Tiempo, candidate Juan Manuel Santos believes if Green Party candidate Antanas Mockus wins the presidency, the nation could return to its troubled past. "Mockus is a media phenomenon and the media have helped him enormously. You can see in any media [source] that they only criticize this side [Santos' campaign] and they only have praise for him..." said Santos. The latest polls show 35% of voters support Santos while Mockus' popularity has leaped from 29% to 34% in two weeks. The poll also indicated that in a second round election, Mockus would beat Santos 50% to 44%.
