Well, all the earlier reports said that this was a done deal. She may still win, but at least the voters get another chance.
Brazil is a big country, economically important. The last thing we need is a Commie dictator bringing down its economy and stirring up still more trouble in South America.

She is actually “right-of-Lula”
It’s very dispiriting. I think Joseph Conrad’s greatest novel—although I admire all of them—is Nostromo. Among other things, it vividly portrays how a typical Latin American country oscillate from right-wing dictators to left-wing dictators. The people get these terrible enthusiasms, lurch first one way and then the other, and go from one disaster to the next.
Even if it doesn’t threaten us directly, it’s still disturbing to watch this pattern working out once again.
Conrad wrote Nostromo more than a hundred years ago, but it’s still going on, the same as ever.
Will the runoff help concentrate forces to stop her ?
If we’d develop our own known energy resources (and allow exploration for more), we would no longer have any issues with Brazil, or OPEC nations like Venezuela. Thanks ncalburt.
