Senator Barack Obama may have won last night’s President debate in the U.S., but in Brazil, another Barack Obama just lost the election.\u00a0 That’s Claudio Henrique-Barack Obama<\/a>, a candidate for municipal council in the city of Belford Roxo, in the state of Rio di Janerio. Claudio Henrique “Barack Obama” dos Anjos was one of six candidates in this week’s elections in Brazil to register his candidacy under some form of the name “Barack Obama.” None of the Obamas won.<\/p>\n

Politicians in Brazil often adopt attention-grabbing names during the election season — this year, about 200 candidates named themselves after the popular president Lula da Silva; others chose Bin Laden, Zinedine Zidane or Father Christmas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sen. Obama’s historic run for the U.S. presidency has been enthusiastically embraced by a country where almost half the population is of some African descent. This entire blog is dedicated to the Brazilian perspective<\/a> on the U.S. presidential race.
