People have a funny idea of "tolerance" these days. Everyone's ready to just riot and go ape-crap crazy because someone, somewhere said something or breathed in a way that presumably hurt someone's feelings. "We'll tolerate you as long as you fit our worldview, any deviation from it and we'll...

Yeah thats not how it is. While I'm expecting a lot of Massa's voters will vote Scioli, Macri is a very legitimate choice for them as well.

Yeah the culture of blaming others for one's own failures needs to change if Argentina is to be successful. If the society sees all their failures as the fault of "Menem" or "Yanquis" then there's no reason they'd try hard to avoid previous mistakes because to them it wasn't their fault to begin...

And Matias is right because ALL CAPS!

Yup. More indication that Scioli isn't getting Massa's support: http://www.perfil.com/politica/Lavagna-y-De-la-Sota-adelantaron-que-no-van-a-votar-a-Scioli-20151028-0019.html On the other hand...

Yeah I stopped watching the moment he said Daniel "SKIOLI". Also his knowledge of Argentine presidential elections is pretty much BS. EDIT: Decided to watch the video just because I felt like torturing myself (SKIOLI!). Wow. What a waste of time. Can we please keep talk about US politics out...

:) Hope you have a comfy couch. But I guess this is one of those times people wouldn't mind being told "I told you so". I myself have been so wrong about these elections, its awesome.

Macri didn't win the province. But since 1987 the province has not had a non peronista governor. I don't think we're sticking with history in this election all that much.

It seems like Scioli is pissed off with Kirchneristas (edited). If trouble keeps brewing there and things blow up then yeah. Other than that I don't think its very likely that he's going to "Menem-ize" himself.

Massa: La gente dijo que no quiere continuidad. Massa wants to go with Macri. Macri wants Massa's support because he can't win without it. We'll find out for sure pretty soon (because things can change depending on what Massa's demands) but I think its all but set that Massa is with Macri. Now...

Well in his speech he gave the indication that he will support "change". We'll see. I don't see Massa supporting Scioli. His whole campaign and popularity is built on "Anti K". What his supporters will do is a different story altogether. We'll find out about Massa in the next couple of days as...

No. Runoff elections. We'll find out who the next president will be on November 22nd if its Scioli or on November 23rd if its Macri.

I was one of the skeptics. Extremely happy to have been proven wrong.

I don't know what you're talking about:

Yeah Vidal is holding onto her 5 points at almost 72%. I don't think the mustache is going to save Anibal.

WTF? Are you looking for a job in her administration in the province? Do you have something similar planned that you're going to write in case Macri wins the presidency?

I think scioli is still going to be 1st but wow this is so much closer than I thought it was going to be (I was expecting macri to be down 8-9 points). Happily surprised :) Vidal did an amazing job. She, so far, seems to be winning by 5 points. But we still only have 66% counted in the...

Dr. Pablo Wainberg is pretty good. He's head of the ophthalmology department at Swiss Medical. Cost was around $7000 (pesos) per eye when I asked. But don't go with those prices. He has his own practice, and they take OSDE as well. Not sure what plans are covered.

Or that. My point was that its not a given that Argentina would have been Switzerland had the Brits won; neither would Uruguay have been Canada.

If Brits had won in 1807 then Argentina right now would be voting on whether to become independent or not a la Scotland. The grass is always greener on the other side; few are ever satisfied with what they have.
