A former CNN correspondent turned communist politician may soon become the head of state in one Latin American country. The story may add fuel to the fire of some conservative critics who refer to CNN as the "Communist News Network."
Political analysts expect former "CNN en Español" correspondent Mauricio Funes to be elected president of El Salvador on March 15.

Funes and FMLN have even run ads featuring images of President Obama, including a television spot that borrows Obama's campaign slogan "Yes, we can!"
