BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) - Early returns and major exit polls suggested that first lady Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner won the presidency Sunday by a large enough margin to avoid a runoff. She would be the first woman in Argentina elected to the post.
Fernandez's husband, President Nestor Kirchner, is credited with Argentina's rebound from a 2001 economic collapse, and much of her support is due to his popularity.
She has been compared to U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who like her is a lawyer and senator who soldiered alongside a husband as he rose from small-state governor to his nation's presidency.
At Fernandez's campaign headquarters, supporters jumped up and down and embraced one another.

How did Hillary's name make it into this article?
You have to admit, the Clinton spin machine is up and running at full tilt!

Hmmmm, perhaps because"
-Christina would be the "first woman" elected to the post.
-The voters associate her husband with good economic times. and much
of her support is due to his popularity.
-She is a lawyer and a Senator.
-Her husband was the Governor of a small state before becoming President

So many parallels here, the spin doctors could have slept through this one.

Never inferred you couldn’t read, just wondered why you would assume the spin machine was at work here. The link is so organic, the media couldn’t ignore it.
