By Bill Faries
Nov. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Daniel Ortega, the Sandinista guerrilla leader who ran Nicaragua in the 1980s, regained power by winning the Central American country's presidential election, an early count of the votes showed.
Ortega, making his third bid to return to office since being voted out in 1990, won 40 percent of yesterday's vote with 15 percent of the polling stations reporting, Nicaragua's electoral tribunal said on its Web site. Ortega can win the election outright in the first round by attaining 40 percent of the vote or by getting 35 percent of the vote and defeating the second-place candidate by at least 5 percentage points.

The Organization of American States and the Carter Center, which is based in Atlanta, have sent observers to monitor the election. The Carter Center delegation is led by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, ex-Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo and ex-Panamanian President Nicolas Ardito-Barletta. |
(Emphasis added)
That's sure a non-partisan look on Jimmuh's face. Col. North, call your office.
