She was first lady, a senator, then she ran for president herself. Sound familiar? Thaty's where it ends because Argentina today elected Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner as president.

Here's a clip from the Reuters story:

First lady Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner will become Argentina's first elected woman leader, but her husband, President Nestor Kirchner, is expected to stay active behind the scenes.

Fernandez's margin of victory in the Sunday presidential vote, seen as the largest in the history of Argentine democracy, will allow her to avoid a runoff next month.

But even if Fernandez had lost, Argentina was gonna get a woman in the top spot. The second voter getter was former lawmaker Elisa Carrio, who had 22.96 percent.
