I remain convinced that what AMLO really desires is to be expelled from the PRD, and almost certainly so should the party choose Ebrard as its 2012 contender: It would allow him to denounce the PRD as simply in cahoots with Calderón and present the expulsion as yet another act of the complot or plot of the "mafia" against him.
Jesús Ortega, however, declared the party would not expel AMLO - this no matter how much they might desire it, should I add: It would simply convert the internal party fracture into an open break, as AMLO would draw a significant sector of the party with him. Ortega also noted there is no such thing as a "leave of absence" - one is either a member of the party and campaigns for it, or one does not. Don't expect this, however, from preventing AMLO from producing his own candidate for the Mexico State governorship, likely to be inept AMLO acolyte Senator Yeidkol Polevnsky, should a PAN-PRD alliance materialize.
