Argentina is holding a presidential election on Oct 23, 2011, but a foreign visitor could easily come and go unawares. The campaign has attracted so little interest because a first-round victory for Cristina Fernandez is all but sewn up. To avoid a run-off, she needs either 45% of the vote or 40% plus a ten-point lead over the runner-up. She got 50% in a national primary in August, and is now at 52% in the polls. Her top rival, Hermes Binner, has 16%. If the congressional vote shows similar results, then Fernandez's wing of the Peronist party should retake the lower house and increase its Senate majority as well. Her re-election is striking given how improbable it once seemed. She won the 2007 vote as the chosen successor of Nestor Kirchner, her husband, who did not run for a second term. But her presidency soon unravelled.
