Wait, this is LAtin AMerica, I shouldn't be too surprised.

From the wiki articles, Humala seems the best candidate.

Only if you really, passionately, to a colic, hate Peru. Both are awful, but Humala is especially so.

He seems preferably to an extremist leftist of the likes of Morales.
Of course, I understand how you might see it differently.

Humala is indistinguishable from Chavez, probably more radical than Morales. I think you are confusing the candidates. The relative "moderate" is Garcia.

Well, Wiki says Humala is from a liberal centrist party, while Garcia is from an extreme left party.

No. Humala looks much more like a throwback to the age of traditional nationalistic South American caudillos than either Morales or even Chavez. Which is what Bono finds attractive about him.

I don't find any of them "attractive". THe candidate I liked came in third in the first round.
THis is simply a choice between the lesser of two evils.

If Humala is from a "liberal, centrist" party, then so is Fidel Castro.

I'm just going by what wikipedia says, and according to them, Union for Peru is a centrist liberal party.
Of course, now I've been convinved that Garcia is marginally better.
