Good for christina, at least there is something tight about her because it certainly is not her face.

”...ignoring economics orthodoxy (and future costs) seems to be the only path.”

One that will cost Argentina dearly. I really want to see the results of this election. The K's will be punished for their years of stupidity.

CFK won a huge sympathy vote in 2011 with the death of Nestor, she won't have that this time so it looks like defeat in the October primaries & the end of Kirchnerismo in 2015!!!

4. You are assuming she makes it to 2015. That is a big assumption and not a bet I would take.
There is too much bad bad bad stuff coming for Arg for her to keep it all together. Especially if she is seen as weak.
The corruptions scandals alone are enough to sink her, her whole crew and FatMax.

CFK is indeed worried about her future. She is throwing a lot of money at this campaign. Three La Campora units have sprung up near me (within 5 blocks,) in the last eight months. That doesn't include the pueblo Peronista unit (UB?) on my street (established 9 months ago,) which hands out leaflets everyday, all day, occasionally blaring out nationalistic music.

#7 I think Recoleta is the best part of the city.

@6 I just tear down their posters in broad day light. Fitting that the opposition party put their campaign ads over the residue.
