Mayoral candidate Claudio Henrique dos Anjos poses for a photo in front of one of his campaign posters in Belford Roxo in Rio de Janeiro, Thursday, Sept. 18, 2008. Claudio Henrique 'Barack Obama' is just one of at least eight candidates in Brazil's upcoming municipal elections who has officially taken on the Illinois senator's name, as a quirky Brazilian election law allows candidates to use any name they wish on the ballot, as long as it isn't deemed offensive.
