You know, I have been fairly impressed with the way things went, since pretty much the first debate, when things came out between the candidates directly in public (which, to me, set Scioli's attitude in plain sight, no matter what excuse he gave to not be there), as to how they behaved, the format the debates followed, etc. The election went well, except for that funky delay in reporting, but given the state of things in the country, the increasing number of people that are being impacted, I'd expected the vote to be close enough for a run-off, but maybe just barely, or maybe not quite. And except for Cristina breaking the veda, those involved behaved themselves for the most part.
As an aside, Cristina probably couldn't lose doing that - if Scioli'd won, he wouldn't have done anything about it and now that Macri has won, he doesn't care - he probably wants her to not pop up in any kind of martyr role to offset him revealing what state the country really is - assuming he does it and assuming it's in the state many think - and blames the state of things on her.
Now that Macri has won, it just seems too quiet. Heh. I had been thinking that Scioli and Cristina would have put up more of a fight, or something, I don't know. I guess I really didn't know what I thought I should expect, to tell the truth.
I guess I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. Cristina comes forward with a truck-load of ballots claiming that Macri substituted the real ones (hers) with false ones somehow. I don't know.
I guess I expected too little from the Argentine people and feared too much what Cristina would do to keep her project going.
