    ”According to the latest opinion polls the Argentine electorate seems divides in three thirds (sic) :
    (i) one which supports CFK and what she stands for;
    (ii) another third belongs to the dissident ruling Peronist party and
    (iii) the rest to an atomized opposition unable to unite - as happened in Catamarca’s Sunday election.”

    Good to know that 'thirds' divide three ways ;-)

    CKF needs a coalition with a big voting bloc of the like-minded; this comes from electorally linking with 'the dissident ruling Peronist party', not the splintered multifarious oppositions.

    The tactic always works for Brasil, and CFK has seen this and know it gives 'permanent Government'.
    All that remains is the horse-trading to determine how many ministerial positions it will cost the CFK-Party.

    Thanks, Billy.
    My comment is the last para. (#1), based on watching it happen in Brasil.

    PS. What's the difference between a turnip and a swede?

    There's no difference between turnips and Swedes you can eat them both, the turnip and the Swede, Swedish girls that is.
