LATIMES
More than 30 people have died in campaign violence so far ahead of the 11 Sept presidential election.
Guatemala is very nervous about all the violence...especially the narco invasion of its NW jungles.
Famous folk singer Facundo Cabral was recently slaughtered in Guat Cd.
Also the current President's now ex-wife...Sandra Torres...continues to campaign despite court after court denying her eligibility.
The only good news...Torres' popularity has declined...and boosted former army Gen. Otto Perez Molina (above) to front runner status.
But he has some unsavory baggage too...from the nation's decades long bloody civil war.
