Jimmy & Rosalyn go to Nicaragua Jimmy & Rosalyn just filed their report on a pre-election trip to Nicaragua. The Carter Center will be monitoring the November 2006 elections there, and the Carters went to use their heft and soft power to make sure things go smoothly. A sort of way to let any potential cheaters know that someone is watching.

The Carters and their team spoke with the US embassy there, whose goal is to "help ensure an honest election that results in the defeat of the Sandinistas", according to Carter's report.

The Carter Center itself is neutral and only wants to ensure a free and fair election.

Note, Jimmy is 81 and Rosalyn is 79 years of age.  ¶ 1:49 PM
