 | | Following Fernando de la Rua's convincing win in Argentina's presidential election Sunday, Oct. 24, Argentines are turning their attention to what measures the President-elect might take to lift the country out of recession. |
 | | With nearly all of the votes counted by the morning of Oct. 25, de la Rua, of the opposition Alliance group, had 48.5% of the votes, compared to 38% for Eduardo Duhalde of the ruling Peronist Party, and 10.2% for former Economy Minister Domingo Cavallo. |
 | | Throughout his campaign, the moderate de la Rua, 62, tried to appease Argentines angry over the slumping economy, while carefully weighing his words with foreign investors, who are concerned about the country's growing budget deficit. |
