Brazilian iconoclast Fernando Gabeira, who is running for mayor of Rio de Janeiro in the Sunday, October 5th Election, may be the best hope for turning things around in the troubled city. The federal congressman, a revolutionary during Brazil's military dictatorship, is a member of the Green Party (Partido Verde or PV). He is full of pragmatic ideas about making Rio a more sustainable city, and is a staunch supporter of human rights. Gabeira has a reputation of being one of the country's few honest politicians, and has been outspoken in challenging corruption in Brasília. A long shot in the race, partly because of a severe lack of funding in his campaign, Gabeira has come on strong in the last few days to contend for second place in the polls with Marcelo Crivella, a bishop in the powerful evangelical church Igreja Universal. Whoever places second will probably enter an Oct. 26th Runoff Election against current leader Eduardo Paes, who is not expected to gain a majority in the first round. The contest is especially dramatic because of ongoing interference by drug lords and urban militias in the electoral process. An estimated 20% of Rio's six million people live in some 700 favelas (hillside slums), which are largely controlled by drug traffickers or mafia-like militias, the latter formed mostly of former policemen. The militias are especially well-organized and force residents to vote for certain candidates, which has resulted i ...

A 28-year political career was on the line Saturday for indicted U.S. Rep. William Jefferson, who is fighting bribery charges as he tries to fend off six Democrats in the primary for his New Orleans-based congressional seat. No one was expecting Jefferson or any of the other six candidates to garner the majority needed to win the nomination outright. Jefferson, seeking his 10th term, hoped to survive by taking either first or second place and moving on to a Nov. 4 Runoff. A victory then would put him in a Dec. 6 general Election in the heavily Democratic district against a little-known Republican. Analysts were reluctant to count Jefferson out. Longtime New Orleans pollster Silas Lee said Jefferson, the first black elected to Congress from Louisiana since Reconstruction, remains popular among a strong core of supporters in the district. ...

Indicted U.S. Rep. William Jefferson had a quarter of voters on his side as he overcame scandal to come in first in Louisiana's Democratic primary. Now, as he faces a Runoff against a former television journalist, Jefferson also has demographics and history on his side. First, the history. Jefferson, Louisiana's first black congressman since Reconstruction, has won the New Orleans-based 2nd Congressional District seat nine times. He proved his political resiliency two years ago, winning easy re-Election over state Rep. Karen Carter Peterson, a young, up-and-coming black politician. The victory came even as late-night TV comics made him the butt of their jokes after federal agents said they found $90,000 in alleged bribe money hidden in his freezer. Jefferson has since been stripped of an important committee post by the Democratic leadership in Congress and a Virginia federal grand jury indicted him on corruption charges. He faces a December trial on charges that he took bribes, laundered money and misused his congressional office for business dealings in Africa. ...
