Reply #1: Fernandez sweeps to Argentine win

[dipsydoodle]

Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has won re-election in a landslide victory, on the back of strong economic growth in the country.

Ms Fernandez secured nearly 54% of vote, with her closest challenger, socialist Hermes Binner on just 17%.

Ms Fernandez told jubilant supporters in Buenos Aires' Plaza de Mayo that she wanted to keep Argentina growing.

She also made an emotional reference to her late husband, former president Nestor Kirchner, who died a year ago.
