More Parrallels between Kirchner and Clinton:

Kirchner was a Senator from 1995 to 1997, then from 2001 to 2003 when her husband was elected President and she became First Lady. She was a member of the lower house (Chamber of Deputies)from 1997 to 2001. She was a lawyer for years before that. So was Clinton, although Clinton went from First Lady to Senator, Kirchner went from Senator to First lady.

To be fair, Kirchner is well loved, winning with one of the biggest margins in Argentinian history. She's also highly respected as a capable and intelligent woman. However, she blazed a trail that Clinton could easily follow.

EDIT: Another difference, and this is key, is that Nestor Kirchner was a very popular sitting President while Clinton was popular in some areas (economy) but not in others and he had notoriously soft high ratings.
