How does Dilma feel?
That would be president-elect Dilma Rousseff after outgoing President Lula da Silva hinted on TV - AGAIN - that he might run for office in 2014.
"I can't say no, because I'm still alive. I'm honorary president of a party, I'm a born politician, I built extraordinary political relationships," he said.
Lula, finishing up his second term, is forbidden by the Constitution from running for a third consecutive term.
The markets may view this latest statement as undermining Rousseff's term if she encounters problems.
