Argentina's First Lady: I'm No Pantsuit

Let's see. She's accomplished something in her life, she doesn't come off as a shrill, caterwauling socialist, and she's much easier on the eyes. I'd say she has a point.

I'm no Hillary Clinton: Argentine front-runner
Argentina's first lady and front-runner in the October presidential election rejected on Wednesday comparisons with U.S. presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton despite both women's hopes to follow their husbands into office.

Sen. Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and Clinton, a Democratic senator from New York, also are lawyers who met their husbands at universities but Fernandez said the comparisons ended there.

"Hillary was able to position herself nationally because her husband was president. She didn't have a political life beforehand and that isn't my case," Fernandez de Kirchner said in an interview with CNN en Espanol, referring to her 30-year career in Argentine politics.

She also said she would mark out her own space from that of her husband, Argentine President Nestor Kirchner, with whom she has shared her political career, although she did not go into details.
I have a hunch if she shows a little cleavage, the masses won't be running for the eye bleach.
