They really have no understanding of the current world econimc events and trends- do they? They think it's all about them. Very sad really. San
Diego tourism in down 31% and if they could change that with some marketing they certainly would. Maybe they are saving the Tequila Project video for
the big marketing fianale!
Right now San Diego is playing nicey nice with baja for tourists- but if it comes down to it they will encourage people to staycation stateside. Well,
in fact they are already doing that.
On top of that. The election yesterday is moving Mexico backwards and it will soon be quietly tolerating, not fighting the narcos again. All the
narco-supported candidates won the support of the people. How do you market to that reality? What a mess Calderon caused by beating the hornets nest
with his small stick. It cost him and the country mucho dinero and mucho lives without any net benefit to the people- and now he's on his way out the
door already.
As a world citizen- Mexico needs to take a teqwuila shot and then sit down, shut up and hold on-- because the economy everywhere is going to get much
worse before it gets any better. Tourism is a luxury, luxuries are on hold.

Ronnie got his feelings hurt because he came to Mexico thinking it was just like the US only cheaper and now he goes to Las Vegas and we can only
imagine that he may well have adjustment problems as well there. I for one am really tired of the constant barrage of mexico bashing like he really
has a valid point to make. Life goes on, get over yourself and let it go or are you on some kind of personal gratification trip to up your post count
on a site you detest so that you can impress people who you really don't like or agree with?

Timing is everything
If you're a comedian.
I question the wisdom of tourist promotion now, when the average temperature down there is approaching the inside of my oven.

The very same goverment that put togheter this promotion plan. Had the wisdom to claim they where going to pump billions of dollars in the form of low
interest loans to those small tourism dependant businesses affected by the swine flu scare. In reality, 90% of that money will never actually be
loaned because in order to get the loan, your business pretty much needs to be perfect financial help, have paid all your taxes, and have everything
in order. On top of that, no alcohol sales on sunday wich erased most tourist businesses already small profits for the week.
Caboron who never seems to get anything right, has just done it again. Claims Mexican are stuck on stupid.
Well, yesterdays elections where a disaster for the very same party that did all of this. They lost total control of congress, and 3 governorships.
Not bad for a 9 yr old democracy.

Sounds like Mexico's experiment with democracy will soon end.
Turning back from mostly to totally corrupt.
Good!
It'll take the guesswork out of whom to bribe.

No Dave, little by little parties start to understand that theres a price to be paid for bad goverment. And the truth is, that regardless of the
realities of the past, things have improved.
I am in my 30īs and i can still remember when thugs would stand at most polling stations making sure you would vote for their party. Or times where
torture was rampant. Times when you couldnīt crticize the president, now they mock him in TV and magazines. I still think for a 9 yr old democracy at
the end, things are not that bad.

You may be overstating the situation:
Vote counts:
2006 Presidential election:
PAN 35.89%
PRD 35.31%
PRI 22.26%
2006 Chamber of Deputies elections:
PAN 33.41%
PRD 28.99%
PRI 28.18%
2006 Senate elections:
PAN 33.63%
PRD 29.70%
PRI 27.99%
Are things even more equally split now?
Are you surprised that the incumbent party lost power when things are worse than when it won the power? That happens everywhere.
Isn't the big risk the PRD coming out on top in the next presidential election?

it's the devil you know- or the devil you don't know- choose your poison.
Well now we know why 11 million mexicans have left for the USA. The only way to win down here is not to play then game.
A 9 year old democracy where the people elected the narcos. Now that's a marketing tool they can exploit. SOS for sure, the people this time. It's
like the Germans reelecting the naz*s and asking the jews to return to vacation there.

Right now political parties are stuck in the past, they are about the only things that havent changed since 2000. What will it take for them to
change? my guess is that eventually they will understand that caos is not a good thing for them, and a good thing for the country.
Wooosh,
Northern Baja has been in many ways, blessed and cursed by being the first state to win a non PRI governorship. We elected a non PRI governor in 1989,
but did not have the support (in fact the feds back then, probably helped create the crime problem) of the federal goverment. People in the north are
two steps ahead and more from the rest of Mexico when it comes to politics, but they are fed up. Tijuana also is a city where the mayority of the
people are not from the area. Most are from central and southern Mexico and donīt know the Hank or his history in the city. I know for a fact that
locals overwhelmingly did not vote for Hank.
It is clear that everybody understands that things have to change, but the old greedy politicians we have now donīt know anything about actually being
a good public servant. All they see is how to keep their jobs, so they can keep living off the budget.

It is obvious your here just to kill some time. If you donīt have ways to kill time in your area. Donīt think we all have as much to waste as you.
This is a discussion, all you do is type the first thing that comes into your troubled mind.
It would be a lot more fun for you and us, if you put a little substance into your responses.

Here's some clips from today's reporting.
Voters punished the PAN for Mexico's current economic slump. The PRI took more than 36 percent of the vote versus the PAN's 28 percent, a bigger
margin than was suggested by pre-election polls.
Jorge Dominguez, an expert on Latin America at Harvard University, plays down the idea that a PRI resurgence would reverse the democratic process.
"These are new times, and the PRI must and will adjust if it is to survive and remain competitive," Dominguez said. "So far, the PRI has shown to be a
active yet respectful opposition party."
Steven Levitsky, also a Latin American expert at Harvard University, said that Mexico's successful elections are evidence that is far from becoming a
failed state noted as a possibility in a recent Pentagon report. Mexico is on course to becoming a "serious democracy," he said, despite a string of
recent challenges, including the economic recession, swine flu outbreak and drug violence.
-----------------------------------------------------
The national vote to elect 500 new members of the federal Camara de Diputados (the lower house of Congress) showed the PRI to be well ahead. At 11:30
a.m. on Monday, the PRI led with 36.62 percent of the vote compared to 27.96 percent for the PAN.
Some analysts are saying this is a major blow to President Felipe Calderon and a reflection of his handling of the economic crisis and his inability
to reduce crime in Mexico. He may now find a PRI-led Congress more reluctant to pass a slew of important reforms he is expected to submit in the
coming legislative session.
The left-wing PRD suffered a bad day and trailed in third place with 12.23 percent of the vote.
