If Mary O’Grady in the WSJ (today’s) is half-correct, this lady has no policy ambitions past what her husband and his wonks tell her.

As noted above, the economy is headed for a fall even Chavez can pull them out of (even if his sandbox was running well, which it ain’t). Unscrewing the pooch would mean repudiating Peronist political mores and those who profit from them, which she cannot do without a messy situation.

That voters can make irrational decisions is emblematic of this election, though she may just be the best of a very thin selection.

BOHICA, Argentina.
