In Brazil, No Victory Yet for Lula's Anointed Successor
The Workers' Party took first place in Brazil's presidential election this weekend but its candidate — and the favorite going into the polls — Dilma Rousseff fell short of a first-round victory. She now faces four weeks of intense campaigning for a run-off that opponents and analysts say should provide a clearer insight into the future policies of a candidate who has so far avoided articulating her plans for government and simply coasted on the fact that she was the annointed successor of the immensely popular President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
