DUmmies will have to console themselves with her win. I’m sure Obama is rushing to a phone to congratulate her.

The curious thing is that the socialist Lula da Silva who currently occupies the Presidency embraced capitalism and made the economy work. I would not be surprised if Brazil’s luck has run out now that they are putting a former communist guerrila in that office.

Thanks Perdogg. And, after Tuesday, we can expect Obama to make a trip down there to beg for help against America. He'll fit it in between the election and his trip to Moslem sites in southern Asia.

It is, but they still claim to hew to Marxism as their creed.
Thus proving that the dividing line between communism and fascism is amazingly fine...
