In OTL, Calderon started as Fox had ended, except with quite a bit more effectiveness.

A feast was laid out for legislators, with political ideologies leading to the start of some disgruntled grumblings about the tough steak. Nevertheless, Calderon would push reforms futher and accelerate growth in relation to US growth.
Calderon would maintain his alliances with the Pacific nations and with strong and friendly nations in the Southern Cone, as there is strength and peace in large numbers rather than in individuals or small factions. The Meso-American Integration projects would help build these alliances further.
However, tough steak a new economic reforms aside, there was a growing pressure as demonstrated by the grumblings over steak. The left had gotten concessionary legislation passed and powerful positions in the administration, but there were difficulties between the left and right which were growing like always. The left wanted more, they had given too much to the elite for their base to stay quiet, and the leaders had their fingers on the pulse of their electorate. Many states had gone to the PAN-PRD alliance, but the left felt they needed more legislation and a more quickly closing gap between rich and poor.

Calderon also got through Congress an expansion of Oportunidades. Furthermore the parties agreed to empower the parents of schoolchildren through more than just world bank educational reforms, and the next major reform would be parent-organizations funded for their budgets and encouraging parental participation. VAT and other taxes would be raised but spending would be heaving on important areas of important sectors, such as improving the quality of education and econuraging attendance, performance, and reaching new standards. New higher-education institutions that were practical for careers were built, as were new hospital and roads. The infrastructure would be useful for all Mexicans of all ideologies. The environment policies made use of market ideas as well, as private companies were given the task of being caretakers of regions that would be used as "Farms" for certain seafood products but the companies would also be tasked with protecting the other life of the region, and such ways techniques that have been known to work in many ways would be used as a powerful tool for non-traditional means. They would see an improvement of cooperation between left and right rather than a decline and stalled reforms.
The race was against the re-emergence of a dinosaur-PRI led by a charismatic young man named Pena Nieto, who could charm people but who's supporters included many non-reformist PRI traditionalists. His candidacy spelled out certain dangers for the young democracy...
