As I understand it, Fox was not a simple choice of the rightwing guard 
in PAN.  He built a populist support network for himself and essentially 
forced himself on the party looking for a win.  Not that he is not 
neoliberal in a number of areas, but given the ideological bankruptcy of 
the PRI, that could be an improvement.

And the fact that Jorge Castenada is advising his campaign shows that 
some interesting political cross-overs are driving his support.
