Argentina Overwhelmingly Elects its First Female President

Argentina's first lady, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, was elected
president last night with 43% of the votes. She will take over the
reins from her husband as the first democratically-elected woman
president in Argentina's history. Fernandez received twice the votes of
her closest rival, another female candidate. Fernandez and her husband,
Nestor Kirchner, are considered the political power-couple of Argentina
–sometimes referred to as the "Clinton's of the South."
