Fernandez Vows to Stay Course in Argentina Election Win

Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner vowed to maintain policies that reduced poverty while being blamed by investors for fueling inflation of more than 20 percent after winning a landslide re-election.

“You can count on me to extend a political project that improved the lives of 40 million Argentines,” Fernandez, 58, told supporters celebrating her victory for a second four-year term in downtown Buenos Aires yesterday.
