Sara Miller Llana, The Christian Science Monitor: "Bolivia's first indigenous president, Evo Morales, easily won his campaign for a new constitution Sunday - promising vast new powers to the country's indigenous majority and bolstering his political clout. Critics say Mr. Morales is dangerously dividing the nation and merely following in the footsteps of populist leftist allies Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and Rafael Correa in Ecuador, who have also rewritten their constitutions to invest the executive branch with more power."
