Due South: Bolivia Rising 
The lede says it all:
In the Footsteps of Che Guevara: Democracy in South AmericaThirty-eight years after the revolutionary perished in the Bolivian foothills, Evo Morales is poised to become the first indigenous president of the impoverished country which has been run by politicians of European descent since independence in 1825.
From the Independent (UK), via CommonDreams. One more taste:
Bolivia is poised to join Venezuela, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay and possibly even Mexico next year in an extraordinary rebirth of the Latin American left. Such is the anti-American mood among Bolivians that a warning from the US embassy backfired.
Note to State Department: got brain?
