A television debate ratified the prediction that the candidate of the Workers Party, Dilma Rousseff, can win in the October 3 general elections.

Brazilian presidential candidates began the process of electoral rest on Friday, vis-à-vis the elections of the highest level that will take place on Sunday in the country, the Prensa Latina news agency reported.

A television debate, to close the electoral propaganda, ratified the prediction that the candidate of the Workers Party (PT, in the government), Dilma Rousseff, can win in the October 3 general elections.

Also elected that day should be 27 governors (of the 26 states and the Federal District), two thirds of the parliamentarians of the National Congress, and the members of the legislative assemblies of the states and the Brazilian capital.

Calm and with adequate answers, the candidate of the PT managed to destroy the strategy of the opposition of seeing her erratic, nervous and insecure in the most important television debate and the one with the largest audience before the first round of the general elections.

Candidates José Serra, of the Brazilian Social Democracy Party (PSDB), Marina Silva, representing the Green Party (PV), and Plinio de Arruda Sampaio, of the Socialism and Freedom Party (PSOL), were the other participants in the television debate, with which the electoral campaign for the first round concluded.

Serra, Dilma’s main opponent, was far from his best form and more devoted to ask for votes to force a second round and to criticize Lula’s administration, which presents alternative governmental proposals  as compared to those of the rest of the candidates, in case of getting to the Planalto Palace.
