Hi Fernanda!

I totally agree with your observation about the canditates who cannot campaign very efficiently because they don't have enough funds. This is a problem in the U.S. too, not just in Brazil. Candidates receive a lot of money from political action comittees and from their parties, so it's only natural that a candidate who isn't very influential doesn't get too much money.
This issue is a political vicious cycle, because free campaigning is a staple of a democratic society, but in the same time this really reduces the chances of other candidates.

Regards,
Ioana
