Kevin Casas-Zamora has an interesting read on Guatemala: Between A Rock and A Hard Place for Brookings. Like Casas-Zamora, I am not overly impressed by the two remaining candidates.
I’m not sure that Casas-Zamora would agree but I lean towards saying that Guatemalans probably shouldn't vote for Perez Molina given what he is alleged to have done in the past and they shouldn't vote for Manuel Baldizon given what he says that he is going to do in the future. Not a good situation to be in.
Nic Wirtz and Kara Andrade also do a nice job with a brief write-up following the first round in Guatemala's Election and Looking Toward the Second Round on the Americas Quarterly blog.
