Yea real close to the action!

Here’s my .02 and what I’ve learned about how things work down here (been here for a year)

As you know Dilma Rousseff was a little-known bureaucrat with a really bad history. Everyone here I've talk to here doesn’t want her to win and will not vote for her. However the way things are done here is not the best

In Brazil you have many poor areas and the politicians simply pay the poor to vote for their campaign. It’s almost funny close to election time (wish I would have taken pictures, If it happens again I will and post) you will see all these poor people waving flags with election candidates on them

Right now the candidate teams will be working through their networks to recruit the most people to vote and that’s what will win the election. I’m really surprised she did not win first round. This my predict the second round

Thank god Rousseff really made a ton of people angry and I think she’s done.

I’ve also heard she is not well and her successor is even worse (Not sure if this is true). If someone wants to do some DD on this might be nice to know.
