The extraordinary showing of President Cristina Fernandez established a new set of records in Argentine electoral history. The difference over her runner up Hermes Binner was just below that of Juan Domingo Peron (Argentina’s icon political leader of the XXth century) when he returned triumphantly after 17 years in exile in Spain to the presidency.

The Argentine people have been suckered again. High inflation, totalitarianism and currency devaluation await as CFK consolidates power. As Argentine circles the porcelain bowl we won't be crying for Argentina

So the government parties and the opposition parties are one and the same !
No wonder the government got re-elected then.

With nobody to hold the Government to account, all we can say say is “Long Live The Status Quo!”

...“But the Cristina tsunami was also defeated in eight municipalities and four Buenos Aires counties. In Santa Fe Governor Binner managed to resist in five municipalities from his Santa Fe province and also in four Buenos Aires city counties, upper class and high middle class...”

That's basically where people with brains and common sense live. Unfortunately and saddly for Argentina, they are the minority!

Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has restored dignity to many Argentines.

The great virtue that can display the model developed country since 2003 is to sustain a steady economic and social growth that reaches all alike.
The fact is explained to have won by more than 50% in the universal child allowance elecciones.La addition to address situations that have not been able to solve, by years of unemployment has also reduced the degree of exploitation that could be achieved by despair of the people ...
This economic growth is supported by a diversified productive matrix also based on the value added, employment generation and, crucially, on social inclusion.
Today Argentina is growing very strong domestic market and growing strong, consumption and development of overall export growth in a long time had no country.
On the external front has restored dignity to the people of Argentina.
She has managed to grow global awareness of the conflict. Latin America supports the claims, both MERCOSUR and UNASUR as the United Nations and now the G-77.
It is the main figure of Peronism and has demonstrated a capacity to govern against unfavorable international economic crisis, Europe and the United States despite the bad press from CNN, BBC and related groups colonialism as Clarin and La Nacion. Defects to be overcome, but it is clear and consistent leadership in the fight against the dictatorship end points and the defense of sovereignty against foreign aggression. It is in vain that Oyanta Umala, Dilma Rousseff, Rafael Correa and other South American presidents are referenced with her in different themes and even Barak Obama takes an example in nuclear disarmament policies internally without neglecting the economic, for plans social integration as the universal child allowance, Media Law and the distribution of wealth against the national and international economic monopolies

.. leads to more works/more production
.. had an effective response to recent global crisis
.. entering to G-20 club
.. no land foreclosures since 2003
.. manufacture exports exceeds agro export products
.. many improvements at working rules/laws
.. makes many infrastructures/energy projects....
