PRD-PAN alliance in Coahuila official

Official it is: PAN and PRD officially confirmed the electoral alliance in the state of Coahuila, which is also holding gubernatorial elections the coming July 3.

Likely candidate: Senator Guillermo Anaya, the compadre, as it were, of President Felipe Calderón.

Possibly a section of the PRD, opposed to the alliance, will split off from the party as a result; what is almost certain is that AMLO will  promote his own candidate, Jesús González Schmall, former national deputy for Convergencia.

Coahuila opinion polls: Massive lead for PRI

The gubernatorial election in Coahuila (as in Nayarit and Mexico State) are almost five months away, so take these polls for what they're worth:




































Of note, obviously, the enormous advantage of Rubén Moreira, the brother of Humberto, who just took a leave of absence to become the PRI's national party president-elect. Yet also, the very small support for PRD and the PT vis-a-vis PAN, which strongly suggests that should an alliance be made, it seems far more logical that it would be headed by a panista. Jesús González Schmall, who is promoted by AMLO, barely registers with less than a percentage point; PAN Senator Guillermo Anaya Llamas pulls at this point nearly 16 percent.
