My sister lives in the city of Celaya, in the state of Guanajuato in the Bajio region. Deep Fox country. She tells me that the consensus on the street (or her street anyway) is that Marcos and the Zaps are not giving Fox a fair shake in negotiating peace. On the other hand, everyone is excited by the caravan, and this in the what may be the most conservative place in Mx. The Free Republic poster is full of crap. Mx is still in a post-PRI honeymoon, something that works to the zaps' and Fox's advantage as far as popularity goes. It won't last, of course.
