@1, well done Brazzo, at least you can spell the Governor's name....can you spell your own ?

The result in Sao Paulo shouldn't really come as a surprise....after all, most of Brazil's wealth comes from SP as it has the highest concentration of hard working, better informed voters ....not as easily fooled as those from the north and northeastern States, where 90% of the 'Bolsa Familia' recipients are located.
While on the same subject, it was interesting to hear that of the several hundred thousand Brazilians living abroad, and who went to their respective Consulates to vote, 49% voted for Aécio, 26% for Marina, and only 18% for Dilma. This reflects the opinions of people who live abroad and are capable of seeing the damage the PT has done to Brazil.
