Mexico 1st woman major part candidate concedes

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico ruling party candidate Josefina Vazquez Mota has conceded the presidential race after exit polls showed her trailing a distant third.

Vazquez says none of the exit polls favor her.

The candidate for President Felipe Calderon's National Action was the first woman presidential candidate for a major party.

She conceded Sunday shortly after the polls closed as exit surveya showed her trailing around 23 percent to leader Enrique Pena Nieto's roughly 40 percent.

His lead shows Mexican voters ready to return the old guard, the Institutional Revolutionary Party, to power after it was kicked out by the PAN in 2000.
