Chigüire reveals Santos's new campaign tactics

As reported late last week, Colombia's Uribe-blessed presidential candidate Juan Manuel Santos has decided to switch tactics after making an EpicFail of his election campaign so far (noted yesterday, Colombia Reports has the lowdown on that here).

But today we All Hail The Bipolar Capybara one again, as Chigüire reveals the major new Santos tactic in this post:

Chigüire goes on to quote Santos as saying;
"I don't understand why I'm being judged for suddenly growing a beard, I simply wanted a change in my image. What's more, shaving has always bothered me. My beard has nothing at all to do with Mockus's."

The rest of the Chigüire post is also unmissable, so please make a point of clicking through. Meanwhile (and slightly more seriously) for more good commentary on The Santos change in tactics (which, surprise surprise, involves going negative and running a dirty smear campaign against frontrunner Antanas Mockus), go visit Structurally Maladjusted's post on the subject as once again bloggers lead the way and MSM journalists can only follow (then steal the ideas, give no credit and claim all plaudits for themselves....as usual).
