#1 I have been travelling to Mexico City and its surrounding area for 40 years now and I can attest that the improvements cited in the article are true. Mexico City is a far more cosmopolitan place now than when I went there as a kid in the late 60s. That is not to say that it doesn't have its share of problems, but many of the problems now are different than the problems then.

I certainly hope that PAN wins the election 'cuz the moonbats and thugs of the PRD will worsen the situation.

#2 Mexico City and Guadalajara may be fairly cosmo now but rural mexico is just as poor as it has ever been. Sure they have cell phones now, but they still live in the same shack. If they are lucky they live near a tourist town and can wait tables, wash dishes, or mow lawns for $10USD a day. They still get paid every day and do their shopping on the way home, every day. So I think DanNY is right, they better ditch the socialist bullshit and get PAN in there to modernize their economy a little bit.
