Lula poised to win run-off election in Brazil today

meanwhile, in our single-minded focus on the u.s., let's not lose touch with what's happening in the rest of the world... (yes, there still IS a rest of the world...)

Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva greets supporters at a re-election campaign rally in Sao Bernardo do Campo, some 32 km south of Sao Paulo yesterday. Lula will face former Sao Paulo governor Geraldo Alckmin in runoff elections today and he is expected to win comfortably.
