Argentina Faces Uncertain Future as Voters Choose Between Radical Outsider and Interventionist in Close Presidential Race
- Argentines vote Sunday in close race between Economy Minister Sergio Massa and libertarian outsider Javier Milei.
- Milei leads slightly in polls, but outcome too close to predict as many disgusted with both choices.
- Milei vows to halt spending, dollarize economy, "dynamite" central bank versus Massa's state interventionism.
- Both candidates try to appeal to moderates, tone down rhetoric in campaign's final days.
- Whoever wins faces huge economic challenges with high inflation, debt, lack of dollars and reserves.
