Winner in Baja

Yesterday's gubernatorial race in Baja California Sur came out in favor of PAN candidate Marco Covarrubias, who is provisionally some 8 points in front of PRI rival Ricardo Barroso. This is the first time the PAN has governed the state, albeit with a former perredista as their candidate. This also marks the second of two races in 2011 in which the PRI has campaigned vigorously yet lost. And now that I think about it, new PRI boss and erstwhile trash-talker Humberto Moreira has been really quiet for the past ten days or so.
