A Tie at the OAS

Is it obvious that I am bored by everything out there? After five tries no one came out on top in the race to lead the OAS. Mexico's Foreign Minister Ernesto Derbez and Chile's Interior Minister Jose Miguel Insulza. As I mentioned before the southern cone was backing Insulza and N. America was backing Insulza. I haven't read it anywhere, but I wonder what role ideology plays in all this. Both Chile and Mexico maintain good relations with the US, but Insulza is a socialist and Derbez is a conservative. One solution to breaking this deadlock is selecting a consensus candidate. Before we get to that however there is bound to be some horsetrading.
