Their headline today (and for all I know, since Sunday) is sickening:

MATT Was First To Predict!
Felipe Calderón
Mexico's Next President
Will There Be Democracy or Revolution?

Al comments:

That takes a certain amount of chutzpah since, as my June 30 report quoted that same Matt.org website, the organization said exactly the opposite, that it was a "two horse race" between Obrador and Madrazo, with Calderon out of the race... To claim now that they had predicted the opposite takes the art of bullshit to new levels.

Interestingly, despite the organization's current dialectic of "democracy or revolution?" (ahem, what democracy ever happened without a revolution first?), Matt.org and its caudillo Lionel Sosa's attempts to skew the argument aren't working with its own participants. This online poll over there, asking if Obrador should back down from fighting the official results already had more than 1,000 voters as of 5 p.m. The result so far? 82 percent say Obrador should keep fighting.
