Brazil's President Easily Wins Re-Election
In a landslide victory, Brazil has re-elected President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to another four-year term.
Brazil's electorate appeared to discount the corruption scandals that have disgraced Lula's Worker's Party.
Voters, instead, rewarded Brazil's first working-class president for lowering poverty and improving the economy of South America's biggest country.
