Will Mexico get a female prez before the U.S.?


Mexican First Lady Could Run for Office

By OLGA R. RODRIGUEZ
Associated Press Writer


MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) -- After months of denying presidential aspirations, Mexican first lady Marta Sahagun told The Associated Press Monday she might consider a run to replace her husband.

"We'll see," she said. "It will take strong reflection, and it has to make complete sense."

Voter opinion polls for the 2006 presidential race show that Sahagun would be a strong candidate. Her husband, President Vicente Fox, is barred by law from seeking a second term.

Sahagun previously denied presidential aspirations, saying she was going to focus on supporting her husband during the rest of his term.

When asked about whether she had lowered her public profile after criticism that she was taking too strong a role in her husband's government, Sahagun said: "My profile is absolutely about my work, and the things I believe in, like the people of my country and my vision."

"I was, I am and I will always be a promoter of change," she said.

Earlier in the day, Sahagun met with first lady Laura Bush and discussed the migration accord, as well as ways countries can reduce poverty and improve education levels.

"I hope that we can take a decisive step in changing the situation for the better for our Mexican brothers and sisters that live in the United States," she told Bush.

The Mexican Government has never cared for any of these things.
