Encinas Out

Alejandro Encinas has taken his name out of the running as a possible leftist alternative to the PAN-PRD alliance in Mexico State. His candidacy would have been a high-profile one, and would have almost certainly sunk the alliance and vaulted the PRI to victory. Chances are whomever AMLO and co. settle on will still sink the alliance, but it's hard to imagine them finding someone with a bigger name than Encinas.
