Dirty Play on São Paulo Mayoral Election (Updated)
by Luiz Castro | October 13, 2008 at 04:38 pm | 265 views | 6 comments | 19 recommendations
That is an update on the municipal elections in Brazil.
São Paulo Worker's Party mayoral candidate, Marta Suplicy, candidate supported by Lula da Silva, is asking on her campaign adds if someone knows if the other candidate Gilberto Kassab (actual major, opposition of Lula da Silva) is married or have children, in a open homophobic insinuation.
That is one of the worst moments in the life of the Workers Party (PT). Before came to the power Marta and his party had notorious militancy on civil rights and anti-corruption fight, now that they are in power, they are just about the same.
Gilberto Kassab is ahead on all pools and is also one of the most popular mayors São Paulo ever had.

Um dos entrevistadores perguntou à candidata se havia por trás da campanha uma insinuação de homossexualismo em relação ao prefeito. Marta foi lacônica:
- Não, por quê? Você acha?
A petista disse ainda que não sabia que o marketing de sua campanha utilizaria um locutor perguntado se o eleitor sabia se o prefeito é casado ou tem filhos.
The governor of São Paulo, José Serra, is the big winner in the municipal elections, as architect of Mayor Gilberto Kassab’s (DEM) candidature, which has now gone to the runoffs against Marta Suplicy (PT).
A polêmica teve início com as inserções da petista em que o locutor pergunta: "Você sabe mesmo quem é o Kassab? Sabe de onde ele veio? Qual a história do seu partido?" Em seguida, aparece a foto do prefeito: "Sabe se ele é casado? Tem filhos?"
"A voice in Marta Suplicy add asks: Do you know who really Kassab is? Do you know where is he coming from? Do you know his party history? Than they show Kassab's picture and say: Do you know if is he married, does he have children"

Luiz Castro, I like this story. It's good stuff. This is quite shocking. Do the electorate buy this kind of tactic?

Thank you Rachel, I hope not, politics changes peoples mind, Marta Suplicy started her carrier as a sexual advisor in a TV show, and how can she play so low game now? It is shocking!
