Costa Rica, known for its beautiful beaches could also be making its own history in 2010. Vice President Laura Chinchilla and Epsy Campbell, President of 
the Accion Ciudadana Party are both seeking candidacy for next years Presidential election. If either one of these well qualified native Costa Ricans wins the Presidency it will be the first time this position would be held by a woman. There have been milestones throughout Latin America, countries like Argentina and Chile have put Lateena Leaders in office where before were dominated by males. Its great to see more of our Latin American countries moving towards more Political diversity, it shows how far we as Lateenos have come from the stereotypical male dominated government. We wish the both of them the best of luck and leave you with these statements from each candidate:

Campbell- "The time has come for the people, for citizens (male and female) to become the true protagonists... The time has come to participate... to dare to dream."
I am sure a woman could do better then the President Costa Rica has now.
