Brazil's Folha de S. Paulo headline: Lula and Alckmin Dispute Second RoundThe first interpretations suggested by the tight electoral results of Sunday (October 1st) have to do with the media: the hamlets have entered the media universe.

It means that the poor also worry about corruption, it means that moral matters are not limited to the "elites" and that it starts to bring down the corrals' gates.

I usually enjoy Alberto’s take on matters, however he’s far off track on this one. If anything, the results, not just Lula’s narrow setback, but all across the country solidify the idea that it pays to be corrupt and that Brazilian’s have problems with short and long term memory. Just take a look at the impressive list of corrupt movers and shakers to be appointed to prime kickback political positions – Maluf, Collar, Braga, Sarney, Palocci et.al, all first runoff successes. As Churchill once lamented “The biggest argument against democracy is a five minute discussion with the average voter.” One could only imagine how he would have rephrased that in the light of these elections.
