Yingluck Shinawatra, Thailand's First Female Prime Minister Candidate, Could Assume Ousted Brother's Role

At rural campaign stops, Yingluck addresses supporters like a concerned sibling. Do you have enough money, brothers and sisters? Are you struggling to get by? Have the past few years left you unhappy?
