Let's not eliminate the political party process from the equation.
Gonzales played the system well. Rhon learned from aside his father's kee. |

Re: Official: Former Tijuana mayor arrested over guns (AP)
Lots more coming across the news today, indicating a strong possibility that the order for the raid came from Los Pinos in Mexico City via a Mexicali request and not an anonymous tip from a citizen. I am no JHR fan but at the same time I would hate to see the PAN party stooping down to dirty politics in an attempt to sway the elections next year.
That would go down very badly in the eyes of much of the voting public withjout strong party ties and would probably guarantee a strong turnout in favor of PRI. I don't think this will turn out to be a case of the end justifying the means...
