Argentina's Front Running Candidate Wants Close Kirchner Ally As VP

Daniel Scioli, the front-running candidate for the ruling party in Argentina's presidential election, said on Tuesday he wants a close ally of President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner on his ticket as vice president.
Scioli told TV broadcaster C5N in an interview that he had offered the job to Carlos Zanini, legal and technical secretary to Fernandez.
Zanini is the legal and technical secretary to President de Kirchner.
He was nominated to that position in 2003 by her predecessor and late husband, Nestor Kirchner.
Scioli said, "I spoke with Cristina (Fernandez) and gave her my point of view. I had said I wanted someone who would complement me in experience."
