Guevara made known his proposal during a presentation of a "plan de acción" (plan of action), in which he also promises a computer for every student in primary school and lower sales and income taxes.
 
Guevara explained that his plan includes sending the proposal to dollarize the economy to the legislature and call a public referendum in 2011, to let the people decide if they want to adopt the American currency as their own.
 
On the side of the street, front runner Laura Chinchilla of the Partido Liberación Nacional (PLN) is confident that she will win the presidency in the first round and assures there will be no second round.
 
Chinchilla says that she has shown her capacity to lead, to make decisions, contrary to what her opponents say.
 
A candidate must obtain 40% or greater of the vote on election day on February 7th. If no candidate obtains the 40%, then a second round vote is called for between the top two candidates.
 
In the latest poll, Chinchilla leads with a 36.7% support, followed by Gueavara with 16.2%, Ottón Solís of the Partido Acción Ciudadana with 8.5% and Luis Fishman, "el menos malo" (the least bad) with 2.2%.
