For all intents and purposes, it's official: Calderón's sister Luisa María wants to govern Michoacán

It was ostensibly a mere celebration of her 54th birthday, but the cries of “¡Cocoa gobernadora!, ¡Cocoa gobernadora!" left little doubt that event held in honor of Luisa María Calderón Hinojosa was all but an official declaration of her candidacy to be PAN's candidate for governor of Michoacán in 2011. 


A range of federal and local deputies were in attendance, as well as the three federal secretaries (Economy, Bruno Ferrari; Health, José Ángel Córdova Villalobos; Environment, Juan Rafael Elvira Quezada) and the governors of Guanajuato and Morelos, Juan Manuel Oliva Ramírez and Marco Antonio Adame Castillo, though also prominent local priístas, stoking further suspicions that Calderón's ambitions to place his sister as governor of this home state is leading to local alliances with the Michoacán PRI state branch. 

Yet the festivities came to a an abrupt end with the news that 
Eduardo Villaseñor Meza, a local PRI notable, was hit and killed by a truck as he was leaving the party.
