Turmoil In Mexico: Calderon Named Mexico's Leader

Felipe Calderon convinced Mexico's top electoral tribunal that he won Mexico's July 2 presidential election. He still needs to persuade the nation.

Protesters outside the tribunal wept Tuesday as the decision was announced declaring Calderon president-elect after two months of uncertainty. They set off firecrackers that shook the building.

"We aren't going to let him govern!" Thomas Jimenez, a 30-year-old law student, screamed as hundreds of protesters threw eggs and trash at the courthouse.

It will be Calderon's task to overcome such feelings if he is to have credibility. He now must win over millions of Mexicans angry that President Vicente Fox, who is from Calderon's party, didn't make good on promises of sweeping change -- and fend off thousands of radicalized leftists who say they will stop at nothing to undermine his presidency.
