Hear All About It! Massa Won,

[Alicia karr]

la Nacion just published the result that MASSA has already been declared winner and has won by a wider margin than before, thought to now be in the double digits. Victory Front defeated in the three largest battlegrounds. Karma in progress?....

Really? I thought election results didn't start coming in till after 9 tonight. The fact that massa is going to win is hardly news, does la nacion actually say that they have new data?

I don't like Massa but here's to the start of the official decline of the FpV/Ks/Campora!

I was wondering, you say you are a leftist, who do you like?

I wondered the same thing! But they must have been counting ballots all day. Polls closed at 6. The article in La Nacion online was time framed at 6:14.. Showed a banner photo of Massa hugging his wife and a caption about a new era starting..it also said that he will make a public declaration at 9:00.
None of this would've EVER flown in the US, but maybe it works because Argentina is just in one time zone? Anyway let's hope that this mitigates any future abuses of power by a formerly unopposed government. Hoping for reason, responsibility and dare I say, prosperity?

I don't say, I am. I'm a proud unapologetic democratic socialist that would make Nancy Pelosi look like Reagan. I don't like the major slates,
and anyone who claims Cristina and the Ks are left wing are either trolling or stupid, but I'd likely go for one of the smaller left wing parties
that integrated with FAP in 2011. I didn't really look in to them as I couldn't vote this year.

As I have said previously, I like some of the things Cristina has done, but ultimately she and her party an affront to good governance so I
am in favor of her/FpV's power to be limited. My only hear is that they've seen the writing on the wall and are going to put the country in
a nose dive for the eventual end of the era-K in 2015.

Yup BA Herald also saying Massa won. These conclusions are based on "exit polls" but seriously taken ones, as all the media now are confirming a Massa victory with the "official" results scheduled for 9:00 tonight. I'm just thrilled that there will be little more opportunity for coercive legislation to be bullied through without limits!

Frente Para la Victoria Won? 1st. political force in the country according to 678.... FPV won in EntreRios....!!

The coverage is so poor that I have yet to see a clear illustration of the overall results.

Yes....Massa: that guy who was a K until 5 minutes before the elections. More of the same. Argentina the deja vu nation!
