As expected Evo won yesterday’s referendum with as much as 63.5% of the vote, roughly 10 percent higher than his original bid for office in 2005 . Two opposition governors, from LaPaz and Cochabamba, were voted out. So how’s it playing this morning? Let’s see CBS news calls it a “win” for Evo, so does the New York Times. Newsday says it’s a “vigorous” endorsement of his presidency, while the International Business Times calls the vote “overwhelming.” Voice of America says it’s a sign of Evo’s “strong backing,” and naturally the Washington Post calls it a “deadlock.” Stupid Washington Post.
