AP/GOOGLE/ Despite a lingering cloud of legal problems, former president Arnoldo Aleman, 64, accepted his party's nomination for a 2011 showdown against longtime rival and current President Daniel Ortega. The conservative Aleman and leftist Ortega have been battling since the mid 1990's. Polls show both are unpopular but Aleman's numbers are even more negative than Ortega's.
