1. Wow! This article indicates far more complexity in politics in Argentina than I was aware.

Great news to see today. Surely hope it continues, and intensifies with these trends.

The convention is extremely close at hand, and the huge election is not so far behind. 8th loss. Hate to count on anything at this point, considering how wildly fast very strange things can happen when the stakes are so high.

Is Ricardo Alfonsín someone who would ever consider running, himself? Just curious. He does have a built-in advantage, real access politcally right from the start.

Greatest interest in former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner's numbers. Her heart must be stronger than most people's, considering how much pain they have thrown her way trying to run her out of office already, and then the abuse Macri dumped on her afterwards was unforgiveable. He was so determined to psyche her out, to terrorize her, to keep her too afraid to try it again, and no doubt he was hoping all the filthy propaganda his people were slinging at her would stick and diminish her popularity. Right-wingers are relentless, shameless mud-slingers and liars. Looks to me as if the public is quite educated on the value of the propaganda and rubbish slander already.

Hoping with every fiber that Macri is headed toward the dumpster in October, to be followed by his bully from the North.



You have made the day for some of us, sandensea! Thank you, so much.
