Narco traffickers in Mexico finally are learning that organized crime is more about politics than brawn, and there's no need to fight the system when it simply can be bought.
Mexico's presidential and other key elections are six months away, and "both the government and its watchdogs fear that the black hand of organized crime will manipulate the process to install puppet candidates as servants of the drug cartels" as reported by Nick Miroff and William Booth for The Washington Post: "the country's mafias have honed their methods of corruption, opting to finance campaigns rather than buy off officials after they are in power."
