Mexicans voted overwhelmingly for anti-establishment outsider Lopez Obrador in Sunday's presidential contest, veering Latin America's second-largest economy leftward in a bid to stamp out the corruption and violence that has blighted the country. Virtually the entire river-front hamlet of Tepetitan, birthplace to Lopez Obrador 64 years ago, took to the streets in jubilation.
