Obama Lost!
Ooops, not the Obama in US……
Brazilian electoral law allows candidates to put any name on the ballot as long as it isn’t offensive. Some used the name Bin Laden, and others resorted to French soccer player Zinedine Zidane. No one was known to use the name of McCain, the Republican presidential candidate.
“The name Obama definitely helped,” said Claudio Henrique dos Anjos, who used it to run for mayor of Belford Roxo on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. “It opened the doors for me to talk about projects. It brought a positive result.”
But official results show he didn’t get a single vote, though he disputes the count.
No luck for Obamas in Brazil elections
