As expected, early returns have shown Mexican voters have thrown out their left-leaning, American colonizing party (incorrectly called conservatives in this article) in favor of the even more left-leaning, American colonizing party which has been so successful since the 1912 revolution in ensuring that Mexico never becomes anything other than a dsyfuctional third world sh*thole.

Way to go, Mexican voters!

“centrist Institutional Revolutionary Party”

Haha..centrist..thats a good one.

Sounds like they were faced with the same challenge we are. Trying to choose the lesser of two evils. Let’s see who will do the least amount of harm? Nothing will change in Mexico. It will continue it’s downhill slide into the abyss.

Institutional Revolutionary Party, known as the PRI

You know, the same wonderful folks that the Catholic Church had to take up arms against in that Andy Garcia movie.

[skeeter]

The PRI/DC alliance hasn't been very good for the US, if illegal immigration & drug violence is the measure. So good riddance to them.

An added plus is the crying buy the NYT readers in the comments below the article. If they don't like the election returns there has to be some good in 'em.

“centrist Institutional Revolutionary Party”

Well, of COURSE the New York Times calls them centrist.

Karl Marx was positively too right-wing for these neofascist humanity-hating genocidal maniacs.

Weary Voters Turn to Party of Mexico’s Past, Polls Say

Who, Santa Anna?

Hehehe. That worked out real well for them on serveral occassions in the past [/dripping sarcasm].

The new crooks turned out to be just as crooked as the PRI, but without their managerial and political skills.

With the PRI back at the helm, one can expect the cartels to make their pay-offs in a regularly scheduled and business-like manner. The dope business will be placed in the hands of the more effective cartels and the gun-crazy small-timers will be crushed. It will be more peaceful on the surface. There will be an awkward period while the new arrangements are worked out, so be careful.

From our point of view from north of the border, things might even slide back toward the 1950's, when our crooked politicians, and businessmen who knew the dirty score could actually get things done in Mexico without much of anyone getting shot most of the time.

The big diff nowadays is that we have a Mexican population that will soon be as large as Mexico's Mexican population. In fact, with the next century, just going by the numbers, we will become the largest Latin American Country in the hemisphere. Maybe the sorta-Marxist PRI has a future on this side of the border!

¡Ay Chihuahua!

Speaking for myself, I'd rather see Mexico as a corrupt third world shithole than a malignant narco-state. Our current Gubmint is filled with experts on corruption, not so much on insurgency.
