Governor Serra has been *very careful* no to present himself as opposed to Lula. This, allied to the very intense (and somewhat illegal) campaigning he has been conducting in the past months with more than a little help from a very friendly press, is what keeps him up there.

He has been in higher places, though, not long ago. By the end of last year he was hovering around 45%. When the *real* campaign starts and there's Lula candidate on one side and those who are against on the other, Mr. Serra's chances will blow like the hot-air bag it has always been.

Serra is the candidate of Sao Paulo against the rest of Brazil. And he is a pre-candidate. Aecio Neves, the young governor of Minas Gerais can be the next Brazil President, and he have a victorious profile. You can confirm it at the site (in english) www.aecio-brazil.webs.com.
