    It doesn't say anything definite but would anyone be surprised if Fat Max ran?

    The Bubble.ar site has an excellent article about the political situation in Argentina.

    Maximo is the worst choice for running...

    I would be surprised if he ran more than a 20 metres.

    Fat Max leads an army of fanatics under the La Campora - youth movement. La Campora was a small group of young supporters under Nestor but have been unleashed as a bunch of thugs under CFK and Fat Max. They are not going to disappear when CFK leaves office and that is concerning.

    What a bunch of ass-kissers. Scioli should know better. Cretina has stabbed him in the back more than once and he just keeps running back for more. Grow some you idiot.

    I wasn't aware that argieland still needed dogcatchers. Thought Maxie had eaten them all. As Englander says he couldn't catch a dog now.

    This is to keep FM from prosecution. They have some really screwy laws in Argentina and sitting Pols can't be prosecuted for just about anything.

    Their future is bleak.

    @7 What a smuck Scioli is. He is trying to capture the Kamporas vote.
    If by some outlandish reason he won then expect him to have some kind of accident, so the K's are back in full power again.

    Maxximus Prattus for VP!

    PMSL at the thought of this. But stranger things have happened in The Dark Country, you only have to look at TMBOA herself for the evidence.

    Maxximus is still a cokehead it seems so that's going to work well!

    Ha, ha, ha, forever and ever!

    Argentina isnt a republic. Its a hereditary politocracy. ¡ Viva el rey Peron!
    And Queens Evita and Isabelita.
    And the latest dynasty? King Néstor the Crosseyed, Cristina the Botox sovereign and next Max the Fat?

    Exactly, Vice President Maximo is sure to step into power, once Scioli 'steps aside'.

    Fat? You mean Fart!

    First thing to happen will be dismissal of all judges, Campora to be equipped with brown shirts and jackboots. Camps for the opposition and free flights over the Plate? Whadya Think?

    I did not think much of Maximo running for office, but after reading the above posts I am convinced he probably has value--if just the possibility of his candidacy unleashes such a reaction!

    Prince Mini-Me for president! I hope that the toad seizes power that way queen Cretina can still rule from the cloakroom.

    Viva la K-swine.

    @16 Ah, the really well though out grown-up way of choosing a candidate. You clearly care nothing for the people of Argentina ……. why would you safely enjoying Canada?

    #17 Chris...my thoughts exactly. I certainly wouldn't put it past la cretina. She got away with it once...she will do it again.

    Let's hope not. Maximo is being defended for the opposing media trying to assign ate his character. What positive thing has he accomplished in his 38 years of life wasting the efforts of a tree somewhere providing oxygen for him to breathe?

    @16 Enrique
    There's a saying in sport that tactically you should do whatever your opponent least wants you to do. If the general reaction here to the idea of a President Max is laughter and giddy excitement then you should take that as a bad sign. It's one thing to get a reaction, but remember to read what that reaction indicates.

    Will all future Presidents of Argentina have to be called “Kirchner”, like all Roman emperors after Julius Cesar were called “Caesar”.

    Just a thought.

    @ 16 Enrique Massot
    Stick with your first thought, that would overall be better for the people of Argentina, I think.

    Do not be swayed by the hysterical amusement you read here, in all seriousness it is hard to describe, even in English, how funny this appears to us, must be a cultural thing.

    @ 23 golfcronie
    Perhaps a film like “Carry on the Kirchners”, or “The Meaning of Maximo’s Life” by Monty Python.

    A film , a good idea, how about “ A Life of Brian ” or in Argentina “ A Life of Max ” but it would be a short film.

    rotting roadkill is going to get the government that it deserves.

    Left or right it makes little difference in outcomes.

    The society and the goverment and the peoples are highly flawed.

    Or even “Fat Max” replete with squeaky leg brace, driving Jeremy Clarkson’s Porch from Top Gear in Argentina, with the spare number plate on BELL END.

    Driving across a post-apocalyptic Argentina (Conqueror’s handiwork), to Stinks “Turnip Dome” remember the little Dwarf!!!!

    This is going to be endless fun.

    A better headline would have been:
    ”(Mother) tosses Tosser Maximo Kirchner's 100 gallon hat in the ring for Argentina's elections”

    So much nearer the truth! :o)
