Silva, a leftist, fell just shy of the 50 percent needed for an outright win in Sunday's first round, topping the conservative former Sao Paulo Gov. Geraldo Alckmin 48.6 percent to 41.6 percent.leftist v. conservative
as opposed to liberal v. or progressive v. I guess
definitely as opposed to v. rightist
though of course leftist v. rightist is the symmetrical choice
but it doesn't scan
doesn't make for good poetry
