Did you know that under Brazilian election laws you can run for office under any name you want?Uh, you can, and at least 6 Brazilian politicians think they have a better chance of winning as Barack Obama than whatever name their mama gave them. Sorry Mamas.
Brazil is totally coo-coo-bananas for Obama because, like us, they have a huge, historically disenfranchised, afro-descendant population, and because, I assume, he's awesome.
FYI - There are no John McCains or Sarah Palin's running for office in Brazil.
If you could run under any name in America I think the tickets would be full of Bald Eagle Freedoms, and 911 Never Forgets.
I would run under the nom de guerre Lady Von Do What I Want.
