Response to the Alliances

The PRI has announced that it is developing a strategy to respond to the alliances that relieved the party of control of Puebla and Oaxaca, and could well do the same in the State of Mexico in 2011. Basically, it sounds like they're planning on doing more to highlight the political convenience and ideological incongruence of the PAN-PRD unions. (Evidently, the PRI only likes ideological incongruence on the inside of the party.) For his part, Enrique Peña Nieto says that he's not scared of facing a PAN-PRD alliance in the race to succeed him next year.
