[Hash]

Again, I vote more for failed candidates than distasteful men:

Ulysses Guimarães
Aureliano Chaves (he should be on all lists: he's such a massive idiot)
Cristovam Buarque
Esperidião Amin
Orestes Quércia

Ciro Gomes should not last long, but I like the guy's "franc-parler" and honesty.

[Hash]

 

Buarque and Guimaraes are out.

Please vote to eliminate 3 candidates, of which two will be eliminated. Again guys, please don't be hacks and vote based on these candidate's strategy, political skills, campaign style and electoral results rather than the stupid old reasons of ideology or partisan hackery. For example, you may hate Vargas but only idiots and partisan hacks can't admit that the guy was one of the best political minds and strategist of his day and it's totally undeniable that he had real political skills and was undoubtedly a very good candidate. The same goes for Marina Silva, Quadros and even Cardoso.[/rant]

Please, people, for heaven's sake, don't make this a useless boring partisan hackery survivor where we eliminate the people we personally hate the most.
