If the PRI Loses?

Macario Schettino's column last week wondered what would become of the party if, despite all the circumstantial advantages and despite its candidate, the PRI were unable to win in 2012:

The old president the PRI turned out to be a liar, and he is already gone. The president candidate turned out to be vulnerable. What will they do with him? Will the initial advantage be enough? Will the PRI really be able to stay united around this hope? Because if with this candidate the PRI doesn't win the election, it will have hard time continuing to exist.
