Felipe Calderon and the future of Mexico
After an incredibly close and contentious election, President-elect Felipe Calderon is now poised to take power in Mexico. But Calderon is inheriting a host of problems: a weak economy, corruption, and a serious crime problem--so serious it's hurting the country's important tourism industry. Larry talks with Mexico City-based reporter Monica Campbell, a freelance reporter for Newsweek, The San Francisco Chronicle and The Christian Science Monitor. Campbell recently returned from Oaxaca where tourism is taking a serious hit. Larry also talks to Pamela Starr, Latin America analyst at the Eurasia Group about the challenges facing incoming President-elect Calderon.
