Mo' Jessica

The other day IKN ran a quick note on Jessica Jordan, ex-Miss Bolivia and current candidate for governor of Beni for Evo's MAS party. As you've come to expect, IKN's coverage was wafer thin and snarky but I'm happy to say that somebody who really knows the scene in Bolivia has written much more about Jordan and has given us a lot more background.

For sure she's smokin' hot, but the lady is much more than just a pretty face so find out over at the wonderful Abiding In Bolivia site right now. Nice job, duderino.

UPDATE: It looks like she can't run, after all. This report explains that not only is Jordan too young to run (she needs to be 25), she doesn't reside in Beni. The analyst seems to think that Evo has set all this up as a publicity campaign.

Bolivia's regional elections in April: The photo

This is the candidate put forward by the Evo Morales MAS Party for the next round of elections in Bolivia (they never end, do they?) in April 2010. This time the regional governorships and city mayorial jobs are up for grabs.

Her name is Jessica Jordan, she's 24 years old and before running for governor of El Beni (sparsely populated, North-East, anti-Evo feeling) she just happened to win Miss Bolivia in 2007.

No further comments necessary here, apart from Evo = Not stupid.
