Argentina's opposition takes on mighty Peronists in run-off vote

Argentines voted in a run-off election on Sunday that hands the center-right opposition, led by Mauricio Macri, its best chance in more than a decade to wrest the presidency from the populist Peronists and set the economy on a more free-market course.
In a sign of Argentines' weariness with a spluttering economy, rising crime and corruption, Macri went into the country's first ever second-round ballot with a comfortable lead in opinion polls over his ruling party rival Daniel Scioli.
Barred from seeking a third straight term, Fernandez will leave office next month with Argentina deeply divided between those who back her protectionist policies and defense of worker rights and those who back the opposition's open-market policies.
