    Challenging days ahead but I’m positive about the possibility of a UNEN+Pro Alliance that has being given a blink by Carrio in the last few days. When the opposition starts acting like grownups and challenging the rotten mentality and the lies of the kirchnerist gov't and agree on a basic road model this will enable a fast shock wave of trust and credibility for the economy.

    Macri can inherit the national network of the UCR and candidate himself for 2015. Please don’t fock it up

    @9 As long as the unions, the media, the feudos and the government are owned by the Peronists they won't have a chance. They may win the elections but only so the Peronists shut down the country. Until the non-Peronists learn that they don't need just votes but people to rule, and actually try to take people from the Peronists, or free the feudos, they won't have a chance.

    I doubt they'll win the elections, though. Carrio, Macri, Binner and the Radicals are ridiculed by almost the entire society. They have as much chance of winning an election as Ron Paul or that Japanese politician who claims he's Jesus. Massa will win in 2015, it's almost been decided.

    But there is a difference, this time its a Peronist gov't who is in charge and is going to pay the bill for its disastrous government. So the only way to start over again is for them to collapse the country totally to make the people realize that Peronism is the root of the problem. Even Massa and Scioli are going to be identified with Kirchnerism to consolidate themselves as credible alternatives.

    I fancy Maria Eugenia Vidal who is already walking in the province of BsAs. she will take De Narvez votes and swing votes who belonged to Massa. I think she is far more credible than Ricardito and Misses Magoo Stolbizer. The radicals and left center and non peronist should flock to her leadership in Provincia.
    The peronist already loosed Mendoza, Santa Fe and CABA, and are half of the vote of Cordoba.

    @15 It depends of how you look at it.... His image is positive at almost 50% but the intention of vote is round 30%. And Massa still has to compete with Scioli in a interna witch he doesnt want to do.
    Probably Raúl Aragón & Asociados is paid by Massa but Asis numbers don’t give him a nation wide prospect

    However consider the second charter of the latest poll with a united UNEN+Pro+Socialismo front

    @14 “But there is a difference, this time its a Peronist gov't who is in charge and is going to pay the bill for its disastrous government.”

    It doesn't matter who pays the bill, it changes nothing. The Radicals may get a few more votes but without power the votes are useless. By playing the electoral charade they are only supporting the Peronists.
    Miss Durlock has no chance in Provincia, the poor will vote whatever the punteros tell them to, who will most likely be Massa's candidate and they hate Macri anyway.

    Historic base peronist vote in the Province of BsAs is at about 30%... Punteros works well so long as there is money to give away... By October 2015 it’s likely that when the Barons receive the money from the National Government at the end of the month and when they start handing it out it would have already being taken over by hyperinflation by the time the cabecitas get paid in the bank on monday.

    Is Vidal likely to win the governorship ?? unlikely if Massa and Scioli agree on one single formula, but her objective would be to gain as much votes in Provincia as she can from the Peronist candidates

    I am shocked that you think the CFK gov't will last into next year.
    I doubt it very much

    Watch Venezuela for your future.

    When someone has to work 3 hours to buy a bag of lettuce the system is on the verge of a total collapse.

    So the new Indec says the inflation in January was 3.7%. And Capatanich stands there on TV and says it due to calculating using a new methodology. He doesn't bother to admit that the old method was corrupt and that they have been lying to the people for years. They really do think the people are idiots. Its time for the whole lot of them to resign...including CFK.

    The IMF is already questioning the Index redux numbers. They said if they're using price controlled items it is not going to fly.
    My bet is they are using the price controlled items
    of course they are
