Chile votes

Chileans go to the polls today to elect a new president. As its a run-off election, it's a straight-up choice between Michelle Bachelet (socialist, female, and agnostic - all "cardinal sins" in Pinochet's Chile - bother her father and boyfriend were murdered by the Pinocher regime, and she and her mother were tortured and exiled) and Sebastien Pinera (a billionaire businessman; need we say more?). Bachelet has been leading in the polls, but nothing is certain until the votes are counted. However, if she wins, she will be Chile's first female head of state, as well as the fourth successive socialist President. My fingers are crossed...
