Down Mexico Way

Mexico managed to catch four Iraqis on the watch list. This does not mean that we should not be watching our border with our southern neighbor. Meanwhile AMLO is fighting for his political life in Mexico. Even worse than being a populist retread AMLO may be dirty. If it is proven that he is in fact corrupt then he should be barred from running. The concern is that it will not be evidence that rules the day but political expediency. The PRI and the PAN know that any candidate they match against AMLO faces an uphill battle so they are leaning to bar AMLO. AMLO for his part is more concerned with rallying his people in the street than making his case. This battle is between backroom dealers and populist people power. Makes you wonder what role the truth has in all of this.
