The big twist in US-Latin relations will be if Evo Morales gets elected to lead Bolivia, and there is a good chance he will win this December. He is a big Hugo Chavez fan and hard leftist who seems salivating to get the opportunity to jab at the US and its interests. His biggest planned stick-in-the-eye is legalising unrestricted coca production. Right now, coca production is heavily restricted and over 80% of the illegal coca crop is destroyed. A Morales victory followed by unrestricted legalised coca production stands to open the floodgates with cocaine, something that has the US and the EU extremely concerned.
