Are we right to compare her with Evita and Hillary?
The comparisons with Hillary are uncanny – a sitting senator (of Buenos Aires province) who has stood by her president husband now seeking the office for herself. Of course, Hillary let eight years pass before making her bid. The two have also met twice. The echoes of Evita are politically potent for her, but Evita, who died 55 years ago, was from a far more humble background and, though asked to serve as vice president, never took office or was elected to office.
