It pains me to concur that Cristina would have wiped the floor with Macri if she'd been running. At least ten points, I reckon.
Ultimately, Scioli seemed to represent a confusing mix of more of the same and on the other hand, a sort of change which even he couldn't rationalise. When he did, it all sounded too much like Macri's campaign model. And, in spite of Adri's insistence that Scioli was a shoe-in all those months ago, I always got the impression that he thought he was going to walk it, which is lethal for any politician, except if you're Cristina of course.
Zanini was poison as soon as Scioli announced that and I'm still bewildered about that decision.
Similarly, the mustache was also convinced of a walkover...just check out his stellar performance on YouTube in the now legendary "Of course, of course......" clip. Schadenfreude never felt so good watching that little gem.
