Josefina Vázquez Mota would be a terrific candidate for PAN in 2012. Yet as Jorge Zepeda Patterson in an excellent column today argues, the PAN's own history and characteristics speak against her candidacy, and primarily because her name is Josefina and not José. A couple of cases in point
* PAN, despite its 72-year long history, has never had a woman governor
* PAN, despite its 72-year long history, has never had a woman party leader
And not to forget: In Calderón's government, of the 21 most important ministries and secretariats, only two are held by women.
PAN has still a very long way to grow off its born-with disease: Misogyny.
