The other candidate was the current finance minister. After over a year of hyperinflation you'd have to have a lot of faith to go with the guy that hasn't been able to deal with the issue while in power.

Yeah but there are degrees of failure, and there is no way AnCap man will be a lesser or even equal degree of failure

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, he's going to make things so much worse. But if you're going to put a candidate forward in this environment, going with the guy who was literally in charge instead of a clear left alternative seems bad, strategically.
