On the scandal-ridden national president of PRI, Humberto Moreira:
Moreira: "I am not leaving, and even less so under pressure"
He continues to decry a "political lynching," though it should be pointed out that he has not even once given a straight answer to either 1) the exploding Coahuila debt under his governorship, and 2) the falsification of authorizations by congress to contract more debt, carried out by his functionaries, perhaps with his knowledge
Manlio Fabio Beltrones and Enrique Peña Nieto: Only Moreira will decided if he stays or not.
Hardly a ringing endorsement.
If PRI loses in Michoacán on Nov. 13, my bets are, Moreira's out.

"Total coalition" on the left
PRD, Movimiento Ciudadano, and the PT will go for a "total coalition" in 2012, meaning they will compete with common candidates for not only the president, but also legislative lists, under a common alliance.
While this is a display of unity (albeit forced), it also means they will forgo a lot of party funding, as the coalition will not receive money according to the each individual party, but a common sum for all three.
Now, this is the plan. We'll see what happens to the "coalition" if there is a AMLO-Ebrard disagreement following the upcoming poll to decide the 2021 candidate.
