  Mmmm!
  
  When you are the only contender (it seems) then shouldn't it be overwhelming support?

  Entering the role of Presidenta, she's had to break a lot of faiths
  as the corruptions and criminalities in Brasil
  - and especially in the government at all levels -
  have resulted in her 'governing the ungovernable'.
  
  BUT,
  ** The huge hike in politicians' salaries,
  * the legacy of huge ring-fenced spends,
  * the lack of a sound education system,
  * the woeful infrastructure,
  ** the swing to Bolivarism, and
  ** her general failure to get a grip on Mercosur ...
  (** = down to her)
  all these militate against her winning 'the popular vote',
  but - sadly - I can see nobody who would do it better.

  Is she really going to support the Boli-bullshitters in Venezuela when the world's media focuses in on the World Cup?
  Just a 'presentational' thought. ..

  Ilsen with the current economic model Brazil is dead high deficit high social spending.
  The Brazilian have a little of taste for the good life during Lula so call socialist government in my opinion he follow a more capitalist approach to the economy than the current queen of welfare.
  They will find that soccer is not a drug anymore for the Brazilians, they will protest during the world cup it will be a disaster for them.
