BRASIL : Sizing Up Likely 2014 Presidential Candidates.
Aljareeza delivers nice thumbnail sketches of the 5 most likely candidates for Brasil's 2014 presidential campaign.
They are the incumbent President Dilma Rousseff, Marina Silva, Aecio Neves, Eduardo Campos and, of course, popular former 2-term president Luiz Lula da Silva.
