Wow, I don't know what to think at this point. However, It seems that Ortega is not going to change her position on this one. If I had to weigh the contenders I would put my money on Sanz. Sorry to say this, but it is a good thing Ortega is not too cute. Unfortunately, her looks may impair her environmental sales job. Also given the fact that she has been a stubborn mule on this one, only seeing things from one side may actually hurt her. She has not flexibility for any comprimise KRY or GRZ would be willing to make. Sanz, on the other hand, was appointed by Chavez. He has done some great work already in the mining arena. In addition, he probalby has a more flexible stance on mining in this area. My bet would be on Sanz, and actually is.

Good luck to all, take care everyone.

JMHO.
