Aftermath in Argentina

Vice President Julio Cobos is still hiding out in Mendoza, and through a spokesperson said he approved of Cristina naming Sergio Massa as chief of cabinet. Cobos is expected to come back to BA on Monday.

Meanwhile, a recent poll shows a jump in Cristina's disapproval numbers, from 61.8% in April to 71.8% in July. Approval dropped from 23.6% to 19.7%. Obviously, relations with farmers is a major issue, but in the larger scheme of things she needs to keep her coalition together to avoid more confrontation.
