“I don't want to be compared with Hillary Clinton, nor with Evita Peron, nor with anybody…There's nothing better than being yourself.”
--Argentine first lady and presidential candidate Cristina Kirchner tried her best in a radio interview to brush off comparisons between her and the Senator Clinton. As we noted in July, some political commentators have even gone so far as to compare the jewelry worn by Kirchner and Clinton.
The latest polls indicate that Kirchner will easily win in the first round of elections this Sunday. In an encouraging sign for female politicians in the region, opposition politician Elisa Carrio runs second in the polls.
