"Sort of like a Shadow Government but more ominous. . . ."

GeronL, that is exactly the way I look at it. AMLO will have the makings of an "institution" he will claim is the legitimate government of Mexico. It's much more dangerous that the article suggests.

Notice how PRD founder Cuauhtemoc Cardenas isn't exactly doing much to help ObraGore? Hmmm...

Meanwhile, the GOP is understandably cracking down on Mexico's years of underachievement by saying "no mas" (especially in light of how Mexico's immigration laws are so racist against us gringos: http://www.directory.com.mx/immigration ). It's admirable how the House GOPers are dealing with the lashings as resiliently as they are:

Excerpt: "The Republican committee members, who sat in the majority Thursday, were greeted by a vocally hostile audience of about 200 onlookers. Sensenbrenner warned the audience several times that they were not to audibly respond to any comments or testimony. Outside the hearing, which was not open for public comment, about 100 protesters chanted and waived signs telling Sensenbrenner he was not welcome. Some protesters, carrying caricatures of Sensenbrenner as a member of the Ku Klux Klan, decried him as a racist. After the hearing, Sensenbrenner defended H.R. 4437, his controversial House immigration bill passed last year, and countered accusations he was being racist. "When you can't argue the merits, you call names," he said. "I authored the voting rights extension bill ... signed by President Bush. Racists don't do that." Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, a Houston Democrat and the ranking minority member on the Subcommittee on Immigration, called the series of Republican-led hearings a "traveling road show."
