Correction

Carlos Loret has a couple of notes in today's column about AMLO that shed more light on the post I wrote yesterday. First, 11 percent of the nation expresses an intention to vote for AMLO. If he actually ends up running without a PRD opponent, a 15 percent over-under for support for AMLO is almost certainly low. Second, Loret mentions that ALMO and Ebrard have an agreement that "whoever shows up stronger in 2011 will be the perredista candidate." Measuring strength in this circumstance seems a bit tricky, and I wouldn't be surprised if the pact didn't hold. It's always seemed to me that Ebrard's shown more deference to AMLO than he has to; I can't decide if he's just stringing him along, avoiding a polarizing split before his position vis-à-vis 2012 is assured, or if he lacks the stomach to kick el Peje in the guts (or the gills, as it were).
