". . . Do yall have any specific questions? . . ."

You might ask him about what kind of police presence the national government can and does exercise in Mexico City and its surrounding areas. I ask this because is lesser-developed countries the question of "who controls the government" is usually answered by "who is in control in the capital city." My principal worry about Lopez Obrador and his followers is that they might just try to seize upon this maxim and force events to their own advantage or, at the very least as they are now doing, intimidate the organs of government to give them what they want out of a fear that they might just act to take matters into their own hands.

By the way, with a nic like "BuglerTex" I would just about have to make you out to be an Aggie. Am I right? I went to grad school at A&M, just to explain my interest.

what kind of police presence the national government can and does exercise in Mexico City

Thank you, I shall. As I said in another thread, at the communist rally for Cardenas some years ago, an army elite unit marched out very smartly in a drill right on the Zocalo just before it started, displayed their presence, and went back into the building. The Corps of Cadets couldn't have looked any better. These guys were all tall and armed well. They definitely did not look like the various other police and guards around town.
