...time in its 56-year history. Voters fed up with a stagnant economy and continuing official corruption might, some thought, help the opposition National Action Party (P.A.N.) knock the P.R.I. out of the governorships in two northern states, Sonora and Nuevo León. But the P.R.I. did not even wait for the polls to close last week before claiming a sweep of every office worth winning.

"Last year I wanted to give it a try, but my mother told me, 'Wait, just wait, you need more poise.' This year, all of a sudden she told me, 'You have to do it now.' " The victory was worth $175,000 in cash and prizes. Next morning, with just two hours of sleep, Carthy told reporters, "It's heaven. I dreamed all night...
