Mexicans keeping eye on American primaries

Marco Antonio Camacho claims not to know much about politics. But when it comes to the U.S. presidential primaries, the Mexico City potato chip vendor knows whom he likes.

“Hillary Clinton, definitely,” Camacho said. “Her husband was a great president to Mexicans. But I also like the Black guy: A minority president would really help your image down here.”

After eight years of often-strained Mexican-U.S. relations, Mexicans like Camacho are keeping close tabs on the U.S. presidential race. Mexican television offers near-daily updates on the candidates, Mexican analysts are blogging vigorously about the primaries, and many regular Mexicans can rattle off the names of the top contenders.”*
