MEXICO CITY (AP) - Hard fought races to become actual Mexican Senators ended in defeat earlier today for Sens. Harry Reid (D-NV) and Dick Durbin (D-IL). They had been on the ballot in Guerrero and Oaxaca, respectively.
Because of U.S. rules and regulations, they are allowed to run for office in foreign countries. While Mexican rules prohibit anyone who is not a native citizen from running for anything above dog catcher, Reid and Durbin apparently believed that if they could just get a foothold they could give Mexico as much help avoiding enforcing its laws as they have given to their current employers.
"Despite this loss, I am still a Mexican Senator in my heart," a disconsolate Reid noted from his palatial compound outside Searchlight, Nevada. During his concessions speech, Dick Durbin received thunderous applause when he stated, "I might have lost this race, but I will continue to act like a Mexican agent!"
In other election news, Antonio Villaraigosa was elected alcalde de Los Angeles, and Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez and (CA) Senator Gil Cedillo were elected to continue to represent Mexican interests in Alta California.
