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.
    Environmentalist Silva won almost 20 million votes as the Green Party candidate in 2010...and recently announced that she is trying to organize a new party...and needs 500,000 signatures.
