For better or worse, Brazil can now look forward to four more years with Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva as its president. Lula's overwhelming victory, in the face of hard evidence that the Workers Party (PT) he founded was mired in corrupt practices from day one of his administration, must seem astonishing to foreign observers.

Lula won by a landslide!
Alkmin said that in the first round you vote for who you want and in the second round you vote against who you don't want. Looks like the people didn't want Alkmin by a landslide. rsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrs

"Lula's overwhelming victory, in the face of hard evidence that the Workers Party (PT) he founded was mired in corrupt practices from day one of his administration, must seem astonishing to foreign observers."
Hey, I live in the US where the Republicans have been in charge. The Republicans make the PT look like pikers when it comes to corruption. Nothing astonishes me.
On the other hand, Lula was elected, not the PT. Lula is one of the good ones. The fact that he won in spite of the acts of people within his party speaks highly of his character and of the corruption of the other parties of Brazil. The people of Brazil aren't stupid. They know that those trying to paint Lula as corrupt are most likely corrupt themselves and until it's shown otherwise, Lula appears to be the saint among them.

Why does who is President in Brazil really matter. In the scheme of the world...it makes no difference. A corrupt, third world, uneducated s**t hole, just like Venezuela, Nicarauga, Boliva and Cuba is all Brazil really is. Great place to have a few beers, meet a few girls and catch a few waves...but that about covers it.
