Who Will
be Last on Sunday?
Ok, we all know who will be the
next president, thus we thought
it pointless to have a contest
to name the winner. So, here's
the challenge: who will end up
in last place come Sunday night?
The winner will get a bottle of
Centenario rum to enjoy on
Monday, since Costa Rica will be
dry and unless you stocked up,
you cannot buy the spirit
anywhere.

presidential elections. Former

winner, Oscar Arias Sanchez
(left) is the favourite, though
Ottón Solís (right) may take in
enough votes to force a second
round election. Some believe
that is Arias does not win
tomorrow, the "green and white"
tide will turn against him and
make political history with the
election of a non-traditional
party like the Partido Acción
Cuidadana (PAC).
