Stirling is seen as closer to
Pedro Bordaberry for the Presidential elections in 2009, as opposed to formerVice President of Uruguay Luis Antonio Hierro López , who is also seen as a likely contender for theColorado Party's candidacy. However, it is thought that Stirling himself and his internal voting recommendations do not command a very large personal following within the party. It is also thought that for the 2009 elections Stirling, (1937-), who served in the government of PresidentJorge Batlle , (1927-), have to some extent been eclipsed by politicians of the generation ofPedro Bordaberry , (1960-), whose 'Vamos Uruguay' grouping within theColorado Party Stirling has in any case endorsed.ee also
