All seemed to be rolling smoothly for Argentine president Nestor Kirchner and his new political scheme in this Sunday's Tierra del Fuego governor race, until this last week.
The two leading candidates, the incumbent and his runner up in the polls are closely aligned to Kirchner's horizontal wide ranging political project which promised to ensure an easy victory. The third, and very distant, was a dissident lady Deputy who belongs to the most anti-Kirchner group in Argentina.
