Cristina, first woman president...

So to no one´s surprise Cristina Kirschner, the current president´s wife, won the presidenal election. What is so interesting is that she lost by a landslide in Capital Federal, yet in the rest of the country carried the victory. What happens here and seems to be the long standing story, is that Buenos Aires, the city and province votes radically, whether to the left or right, but would never vote for someone as middle of the road, unclear values wise, figurehead as Kristina. The porteños prefered the conservative candidate, Carrió, also a woman, to Kristina, but she couldn´t appeal to the rest of the country. Too porteña. There is a fracture in their national identity...Buenos Aires feels like its own country....
