Incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is campaigning for a second term in Brazil's October 1st presidential election - a victory he does not deserve. This comes amidst mounds of political rubble, caused by the almost daily political scandals uncovered in the past few months, along with the barely containable outbreaks of violence in São Paulo.

COHA COHA COHA !!!!!! written by ch.c.,

Funny article from your side. Until very recently everything you published was in his favor or to tqke his defense. Those articles were published on this same site.
Funny that you needed almost his first 4 years mandate as President to realize how bad he really is.
The problem is that he his neither better nor worse than 2 months ago when then you still took his defense. Everything became quite clear after his first year of Presidency.
As a think tank organisation, your brains are quite slow to analysis. Strange.....yessss, very strange.
Or did Lula also betrayed you directly as he betrayed all his electors, as you finally recognize in your article ?
Why ? Or did HE stop financing your organization thus explaining why you are changing your mind finally ???? Because it is well known that the PT had and still has many hidden Caïxas.
As to Lula distancing himself from the PT, just think again, as you are a think tank organization. Is it not clear to you that he is distancing due to all the illegal things this party did ? But this is the best tactic.....BEFORE the elections. Does it not come to your mind that after Lula re-election they will be on a new honeymoon again ????? Sooooooo obvious......., so together they will manipulate, hide, do illegal backstage dealings again and lie again to prepare the continuation of the PT party for 2010 and beyhond !!!!!!!!!!
COHA is really not very smart for a think tank organization.
Finally with your Economy Trumps All : sorry but including 2006 Lula economic performance will have provided an average annual economic growth rate of ONLY 2,8 % ! Stupid question :at that growth rate how can anyone fill the gap with richer countries ? The sad reality is that Brazil is loosing the race, against the other developing countries.
Or simply stated : the World Worst of ALL developing nations, and the 2nd worst for Latam/Caribean after Haïti ! Except that Haïti IS NOT a developing country but a LDC.
Thus how can LULA be so proud of his economic failures ? And how can anyone take his defense on that subject KNOWING that many developing countries had TWICE AND MORE the Lula's performance ?
At that speed Brazil will remain a developing country until the next century, while some developing countries will have become developed and no longer developing. Even some LDC countries will become wealthier than Brazil.

Who Benefits? written by a guest,

When situations like those of the PCC revolts in Sao Paulo take place, people must ask themselves, "Who benefits??" Without question Lula and the PT party have benefitted the most as a result of making the Sao Paulo gov't. appear to be incompentent....not a difficult task to achieve in any state gov't. here in brazil, unfortunately.
There is now an investigation by the federal police looking into ties with the PCC and the PT party. As wiretapped conversations were heard and PCC bosses recorded stated to specifically attack PSDB candidates but NOT PT!!!!
One can call Lula or whatever other brazilian politician "teflon" this or "teflon" that, it's NOT Lula or any one politician/candidate that's teflon! IT'S A TEFLON SYSTEM!! Corruption and impunity rule the day, responsibility for ones actions and punishments to fit the crimes DO NOT EXIST in the brazilian "system".
And the economy as the principle reason for him winning the upcoming elections is "STUPID", and if that will be the reason he will win, then the only ones that are STUPID are the brazilian electors! The poster above has it right, least growth of ANY developing nation and only 2nd place to Haiti in all of latin american and the carribean! Embarrassing to say the least!
