A post from September 2006: Down in Mexico, LO and his "parallels" drag on!

A post from 2006:

It's official. LO has his new government, including a convention and lots of placards. LO knows how to form a government. LO can't win elections but he can form a government. Will he let an opposition party win under his new government?

Mexico's version of a "chest pains" keeps on keeping on. Of course, chest pains are a sign of indigestion, heartburn or something worse.

Yet, the Mexican political class has stuck its head in the sand and hopes that LO will go away because Mexicans are telling pollsters that he should.

Let's hope that LO listens to Mexico. Let's hope that he will responsibly fade away and let Calderon assume the presidency.

In the meantime, I don't see a Plan B. What is Mexico going to do when LO heads to Oaxaca or Chiapas and finds fertile ground for his movement.

Let's hope that I'm wrong. Let's hope that Mexico's chest pains are a consequence of too much "salsa" in last night's enchiladas and not much more.
