Argentine General Elections

October 25, Argentines go to the polls to elect a new president and possibly propel the country in a new direction.

President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner will leave the Casa Rosada (Pink House) after two consecutive terms, and along with her late husband the couple has run the country since 2003. When Kirchner took the country over it was in ruins following the economic crash of 2001, and put it back together that surprised even the most staunch of critics.
