BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - The wife of President Nestor Kirchner will run as the government candidate in Argentina's October presidential election after he decided not to seek re-election, a government spokesman said on Sunday.
The decision ends months of speculation fueled by Kirchner's public suggestions that either he or his wife, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, a prominent senator, would compete in the October 28 vote. Polls show either would easily win.
"Cristina will be the government candidate," the spokesman told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity and confirming a report first published by the daily newspaper Clarin.

Some political commentators say Kirchner and his wife are looking to rotate in and out of power. Argentine presidents are limited to two consecutive four-year terms but can return to office after spending four years on the sidelines.

IIRC, Evita was never President of Argentina. Rather, that honor fell to Isabella, Juan Peron’s next wife, after Evita died, Juan’s remarriage, and after his death. Her tenure was “Not Successful”.
Creepy Alert.
Juan, while in exile in Spain had Isabella lay over Evita’s coffin, to soak up Evita’s spirit.
Just damn.
Oh goodie, the South American Clintons.
She’s no Hillary.
She is what I call a GMILF! Any day, any place! :-)
