...face allegations, for example, that they're cozy with Mexico's powerful drug cartels. Just as troubling is the party's vacuous political philosophy, which critics say still consists of little more than the cynical acquisition of power - and the incompetent exercise of it, evidenced by Mexico's chronic 20th-century financial collapses and the PRI's appallingly clueless response to a 1985 Mexico City earthquake that killed 10,000 people...

When TIME ranked him in 2005 as one of the nation's worst state chief executives, it was because his fiscal hard-liner theatrics (carrying piglets under each arm to the door of the state legislature to protest pork-barrel spending) rarely yielded real results. In too many instances, his conservative principles thwarted the economic development of a poor Southern state...
