Hopes for continued economic growth beat out fear of inflation and a diffuse opposition that never caught a spark. On Sunday, CFK won nearly 54% of the vote in Argentina's presidential election, besting her closest competitor by over 36%. She's also regained a majority in Congress. Of the 9 provincial governor's races, her allies only lost in 1. Voting is compulsory in Argentina.
How crushing was her victory?
Argentinean news outlets are running
stories asking, "
Donde perdio Cristina?" Turns out, not in too many places. She lost in Argentina's Antarctic outpost community (the winner took it with 68 votes) and in only one department of Buenos Aires province, Rivadavia.
