Between A Rock And A Hard Place.

So, what will Cristina do? If she is too aggressive, in October the poll results could be even more catastrophic than they were last Sunday. If she makes an effort to be conciliatory, she would have to begin dismantling her cherished “model”. She could also decide that, seeing the country does not deserve her, she might as well call it quits and let her critics try to sort out the mess that, in any event, sooner or later will be handed to them, in the hope that, after a few chaotic months, voters come to their senses and beg her to return.

That is what Néstor wanted her to do in 2008 when vice-president Julio Cobos torpedoed her farm bill, but Brazil’s president Luiz Inácio “Lula” da Silva persuaded her to stay where she was and give Argentina another chance. As the problems currently facing Cristina are far worse than they were back then, thoughts of a premature retirement must surely be floating about in her mind.

Another brilliant article from Mr Neilson, but frankly I don't see her fading away.
I see her hardening her position.
If Nelson Castro is to be believed, she is showing classic signs of Hubris Syndrome, which the more I think about it seems to fit the bill.

And don't you just love this quote from the mayor of La Matanza?

"40 days of campaigning, from the time the lists closed, was not enough to make Martín Insaurralde known to all citizens."

Yeah, right............

Castro may be right. In all seriousness, she seems to have deep psychological problems.

Looks like Nelson got a diagnosis of his own:

and, never thought I'd say this, but La Señora has been on fire since her comeback.

Can we all remember the good old days?
