Mexico candidates pile on leftist front-runner in debate

Most recent opinion polls give Lopez Obrador a double-digit lead heading into the July 1 election, putting the fiery former Mexico City mayor squarely in the sights of his four rivals as they held their first of three debates. Fending off attacks from all sides, Lopez Obrador -- widely known as "AMLO" -- at one point whipped out a chart with the latest poll numbers by way of rebuttal.
