Eduardo Campos was just the third in the polls, but was seen as an alternative - the first two positions in polls are occupied by the party in power and the former party in power, in that order.<p>The commotion caused by this accident may help his substitute, as his candidate for vice-president was a very popular character in Brazilian politics who didn't run for president mostly because of bureaucracy in the foundation of her new party.
Could a Brazilian chime in? Who's going 2nd in the polls? Do you expect Campos supporters to move to Rousseff or to <other person>? Do you suspect foul play? What are the main differences between each candidate's platform? Did the World Cup results play out as predicted (ie. Rousseff losing support due to loss)?<p>Thanks!
I had to retread that title twice. I read it as:<p><pre><code> Brazilian Presidential Hopefully Dies in Plane Crash

Which naturally seemed rather horrible.
