Governor Hopefuls

A few high-profile state executive aspirants have emerged in the past couple of days. First, Lino Korrodi, a high-profile fund-raiser for Vicente Fox way back when the ex-Guanajuato governor was putting together a presidential campaign, will run for the PRD in Tamaulipas, where the PRI has long been dominant. In Michoacán, which has long been governed by the PRD, presidential sister Luisa María Calderón has been mentioned as a possibility for the PAN. And in Chihuahua, where both the PAN and the PRI have a strong presence (though the latter has been in the driver's seat recently), former deputy bigwig César Duarte will run for the PRI's nomination.
