Campaign Commercials in Guatemala

Given all the polls leaning in it favor, Otto Perez Molina and the Patriotic Party are looking to score a first round victory in September's election. Since the country's return to civilian government in the 1980s, no candidate has ever secured a first round victory. Alfonso Portillo of the FRG is the only candidate to have come close. He captured a first round 48% and eventually defeated Oscar Berger 68% to 32% in a second round.

Here's how Perez Molina is winning with slick campaign commercials about the Guatemala that he wants.
