Could a Brazilian chime in? Who's going 2nd in the polls? Do you expect Campos supporters to move to Rousseff or to <other person>? Do you suspect foul play? What are the main differences between each candidate's platform? Did the World Cup results play out as predicted (ie. Rousseff losing support due to loss)?
He was the third in the polls. Campos supporter were few, but my guess is that they will move to whoever substitutes him in the run, as the party now may add a new candidate at his position, and his aspiring vice-president is very popular.
No serious reports on foul play, there are no big differences between most candidates' platforms and the World Cup results did not have any significant results in Rousseff support.
Hard to tell ATM, there's still possibility of Marina Silva (vice-candidate) to be the candidate.
No foul-play.
There are no differences between the candidates platform. Even the current president's platform is based on "changing everything", as her party hasn't been in power for almost 12 years.
Campos dropped from the coalition that elected Rousseff 1 year ago. He was stronger on the northern regions where former president Lula successfully conducted a "Venezuelization" process (trading government social subsidies for votes).
Eduardo Campos was just the third in the polls, but was seen as an alternative - the first two positions in polls are occupied by the party in power and the former party in power, in that order.
The commotion caused by this accident may help his substitute, as his candidate for vice-president was a very popular character in Brazilian politics who didn't run for president mostly because of bureaucracy in the foundation of her new party.
