Did she at least have a hawt daughter?
Unfortunately, no. She was pretty hot in college, but all of her daughters are fat. I think.
Although CFK has no experience in the executive branch, she's been in politics since she was in college, and has governed with her husband; I think she's fit for the job.
Well, Bachelet was pretty much unrelated to conventional politics until the mid-90's. She was never elected to Congress or the Senate but she held a couple of Minister gigs during Lagos' administration. When the general public realized that she also happened to be the daughter of one of the martyrs from Allende's government, she got the little boost that she needed to be chosen as a candidate, even though seemingly the original plan was to have her as a stick-up dummy until Lagos could run for another election - which now seems unlikely.
Ah well. To be honest, she did strike me as a good candidate at first, too. And she's still doing it better than any of the shifty-eyed snakes on the other side could do, anyway.
