Chile holds its run-off election today and it will be interesting regardless of the outcome

Chileans elect a new president on Sunday, and no matter whom they choose, the winner will make history. The front-runner, Michelle Bachelet, would be the first woman to be elected president in Chile; her rival, Sebastián Piñera, would be the first billionaire to hold that office here.

but pre-election polls say that it looks like michelle bachelet is the front-runner...

Ms. Bachelet, 54, a pediatrician who has not held an elective office but who has been minister of health and defense, is the daughter of a general who died in prison after the overthrow of Salvador Allende in 1973.

She has had three children by two men, one of whom she never married, and lived with another who had links to a guerrilla group, according to recent biographies. She is not married and is often described as a single mother. She identifies herself publicly as agnostic.
