Cristina Fernandez takes off with 42% vote intention and 25 points lead

Argentine president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has a 42% vote intention and in some districts of the country her support soars to 70%, according to consultants Public Opinion Studies, Centre, CEOP, released on Wednesday. Similarly Cristina Fernandez has at least a 25 points lead over her closest runner up.

~snip~
Cristina Fernandez made the announcement at the right moment since she enjoys strong public opinion support fuelled by a booming economy and consumer spending while the opposition remains divided unable to come up with a candidate that could dispute her advantage.

Although there is no clear indication as to whom will be her running mate in the presidential ticket, among which figure Governor Jorge Capitanich; Carlos Zanini Executive Legal and Technical Secretary and Communications Secretary Juan Manuel Abal Medina, Bachman believes that “whoever it is, he won’t add or subtract much” given her popularity.

“We have a very strong Cristina and an opposition that still is looking around to find an opposition model or alternative governance model, which if they can’t agree or find one means Cristina has 48% and her runner up, 13%”, said Bachman.

1. With 42%, she will win it in the first round--no run off necessary (bottom of article).

The pollster's comment is telling, that the opposition is "still is looking around to find an opposition model or alternative governance model."

The rightwing, pre-Kirchner governments fucked up Argentina so completely--with World Bank/IMF loan sharkism and "neo-liberal" looting of "the commons" that utterly destroyed Argentina's economy--it is not surprising that they can't find a "model" for governance. Their "model" is "the rich get richer by fucking over the poor." In an honest political system--unlike our own--that "model" won't wash.

Here--with ES&S/Diebold 'tabulating' all the votes with 'TRADE SECRET' programming code--it is quite possible that we will see Bush Junta II successfully 'selling' war and transglobal corporate/war profiteer rule--including massive, massive looting of the U.S. federal treasury, trillion dollar debts and deliberate inducement of Great Depression II-- as a "model" for governance, but such a thing is not possible in Argentina and most of South America these days, where people take their democracies seriously and have worked hard on the basics, such as honest vote counting.

Although it's looking like the international crime bosses don't really need to oust Obama to get most of what they want, including presidential war by fiat (Libya)--which not even Bush dared to do--still, they may grow impatient with what little resistance our Democratic party leaders are exhibiting, say, to the total looting of Social Security and the end of Medicare, and other off-the-cliff fascist designs. IN FACT, this is what the Puke "Mad Tea Party" IS advocating--utter madness on this and every front, with their Miami mafia contingent salivating for Oil War IV, against Venezuela and Ecuador, with region-wide destruction of the leftist democracy movement that has swept South America and half of Central America. The corpo-fascist press keeps these insanely fascist ideas front and center and ES&S/Diebold has the capability--the EASY capability--to put another such regime in the White House. They did it in 2004. They've done it with this Scumbag Congress--the most unrepresentative congress we have ever seen in our history. They can put Sarah Palin or some such "Mad Hatter" in the White house in 2012, if they decide to turn us into a "basket case" like they did to Argentina and other Latin American countries in the 1990s, or into a full-on fascist dictatorship, as they did to Latin American countries in the 1970s and 1980s. There is nothing to stop them--nothing!

Meanwhile, Latin America just keeps on electing good, honest, responsible, representative, FDR "New Deal" type governments, with the USAID trained and funded rightwing oppositions floundering around for a "model of governance" that will "sell," with "talking points" written in Washington DC. There are only two "models of government" acceptable to the U.S. and its transglobal corporate criminals and war profiteers: fascist dictatorship with leftists tortured, shot, thrown out of airplanes, carved up while alive and their body parts thrown into mass graves; or massive "neo-liberal" poverty and ruination. Democracy is the last thing in the world that the Latin American rightwing and its U.S. sponsors want. But, interestingly--wondrously--that is where democracy has been reborn.

3. Argentina has lived through that hell on earth so long, they need to cleanse themselves completely

before they will ever be safe from this living hell happening to them again, as it did before with full U.S. support.

Those who suffered greatly know where they've been and will move heaven and earth to prevent its return. Hope they will be strong enough to fight both the grotesque fascist remnants left in Argentina as well as murderous support from the U.S. domination-obsessed sub-humans here.

...the nationalistic flagwaving over the Falklands islands payed of.
