Wuli,I studied in Mexico City and the PRI is not left wing. A matter of fact the PRI candidate was the first to Say Calderon won even before the Recount. Many in the PRI are conservative and will work with Calderon because they want money and Cabinet posts.

Everyone is so busy looking at the Presidential election, no one is paying attention to the REAL story. The PRI was WIPED OUT in the Mexican Congress. It will all be PANtistas, with a smaller % of PRD/PT and a very small number if PRItistas.

That is pretty good news all things considered.

In Mexico they are to the right of Obrador. Here, they are as much on the left as John Kerry. They are "conservative" in some social senses, but they are still in the big-government mold they were in when they had their 70 year political monoppoly.
