Brazil is kicking off 2008 with hypo press coverage:
>"Brazilian economy is finally coming of age"
> "Brazil's now hot commodity"
> "US equities shudder on economy fears. Emerging markets getting the love"
> "Brazil seeks formula for continued growth"
The real challenge of Brazil will be Lula's abilities to deal with Hillary Clinton. Lula managed to find Bush's G-spot, but Bill can testify that this endeavour is a far more complex matter in Hilary's case. Especially with Hillary's frigidity on global trade.
