Brazil to vote for president today

Brazil's 135 million voters appeared poised to elect Dilma Rousseff, a former Marxist guerrilla turned career civil servant, as their first woman president in elections today.
Rousseff, 62, held a dominating lead over her rival in all the polls, suggesting she will take over next year from her mentor and former boss, outgoing President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
With campaigning officially suspended two days before the elections -- which will also select federal and state legislators, governors and much of the senate -- Rousseff's competitors have little chance to make up ground.
