“Massa is a dissident Peronist and it's hard to see how his followers would vote for a candidate which has been described as a 'gorilla', the term used in Argentina to name the anti-Peronists.”

Gorilla ha, ha, ha.

That's a joke, it has to be.

They should apologise to all gorillas, they are far more intelligent than any argie. What a pity the real Argentines are so scared to vote.

No, the reality is that Macri just doesn't have the money to bribe the electorate any where near what TMBOA has. The stupid voters don't even realise she is bribing them with their own money.

The contortions Macri is attempting to woo some more electors in the company of some the worst union leaders in Argentina are nothing short of pathetic.
Of course, the memory of the last president working for the land-owning oligarchy and the large corporations in the 1990s is still fresh in the Argentines' memories and that is the hurdle for a candidate who, after speaking at will against the “K corruption” has been shown liberally distributing millions in Buenos Aires City money to friends through sole-source contracting.

Whats wrong with that as the K's have been doing that for years. It is seen as “ normal ” in Argentina is it not? As I have said many times everyone has a skeleton in their cupboard Eh Enrique?
