Pro-AMLO spam

Yesterday, I wrote about the spam I was getting opposing Mexican presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's (AMLO) challenge to the results of the July 2 election. Today, I received a couple of identical e-mails apparently supporting AMLO, from "PRD Radical" (PRD is AMLO's party). They say:
LA BMV?

TOMEN EL AEROPUERTO, NO SEAN PUTOS....

O QUE LE TIENEN MIEDO A FOX?

VOTO POR VOTO
Which I translate as: "The stock exchange (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores)? Take the airport, don't be (male) whores...Or are you afraid of [current president Vicente] Fox? Vote by vote."

Which still doesn't make sense. I know that AMLO supporters have been staging sit-ins in the Zocalo in Mexico City and other public places, but I see nothing in Google News about sit-ins at either the stock exchange (BMV) or the airport. "Voto por voto" is the battle cry for the AMLO supporters, meaning "count every vote."

Oh well--it's more exciting than the spam I'm constantly getting from Howard Dean.
