TEEEJ,
while its entirely true that Kirchner will be gone in 2015, her legacy (along with corruption, nepotism, economic chaos etc..) is going to be that in order to get elected, future candidates for the Argentine presidency are going to have to wave the flag and bang the drum to some extent - and that they are then held hostage by that rhetoric when the normal rough and tumble of Argentine politics sees demonstrators on the streets.
Kirchner might well be an odious, vicious hag who uses the FI to distract the Argentine population (not that well it must be noted, so to be effective she has to go further than she currently has...), but she is also something of a captive of the Argentine political psyche - she can't win any political argument on domestic politics unless she is seen to be 'strong' on the FI. her jabberings have put the next Argentine president in the same position, only more so...
