ARGENTINA is holding a presidential election on October 23rd, but a foreign visitor could easily come and go unawares. The campaigns have put up posters, but fewer than in past contests. Cristina Fernandez, who is running for a second term, rested this month to lower her blood pressure, and took more time off after her sister-in-law's boyfriend died on October 13th. Dinner-party chatter focuses more on the Argentine Football Association's presidential election than on the country's.
