Ecuador's Correa to run for 3rd term

Ecuador President Rafael Correa officially announced Saturday that he would run for a third term in February elections -- a contest in which he is expected to be the runaway favorite.

The leftist Correa, who has led the Andean nation of 14 million people since 2007, is currently far ahead in opinion polls, winning 56 percent support among likely voters.
