The parallels between the November election in the United States and the October election in Venezuela are too obvious to mention.

Chavez will remain in power. I’m sure of it. He’ll rig the vote. Any political dissent is crushed, and I’ve seen the photographs of his socialist thugs doing the crushing.

Did "who counts the votes" magically change?

He will lose by between 400,000 to 1 million votes

He's been stealing them for awhile. Chavez tried to help an Honduran thug steal an illegal initiative . After the attempt was stopped by the legislature they examined the voting machines. Sure enough, the fix was already in. Obama, of course, was on the side of the thug.I suspect the same trick was already used by Reid to steal his Nevada election.

Chavez may try to remain in power and things seem likely get rather bloody. A contact in Venezuela suggests that he will have the support of about half of the military should he try to do so. The Venezuelan military, as I saw it during a few years there back in the early 2000's, was as competent as the Russian military was during the years leading up to WWI: as incompetent, corrupt and dysfunctional as one can imagine. I think things have deteriorated since then.

Chavez has a real challenger this time around. Henrique Capriles Radonski, young bright and non-stop action is for real and he has made Chavez look old and sick in mind, ideas and sprit. Capriles’s got a shot! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qIGsYz1EWw&feature=player_embedded

Not to mention he can shuttle in extra military forced from his satellite states. This man is a filthy tyrant. Here is what his state controlled media said about the challenger, Capriles.

“This is our enemy, the Zionism that Capriles today represents ... Zionism, along with capitalism, are responsible for 90% of world poverty and imperialist wars.”

Hmmm. I can see parallels between the Venezuelan media and our own.

Capriles wears a cap that the crowds love. That hat enrages Chavez, totally makes him froth at the mouth.

Kinda hard to squeak after you've croaked.

Perhaps he can, although most of South and Central America have become less devoted to Chavez than they were a few years ago when he was throwing money at them. He now has far less to toss their way.

Perhaps Cuba or Nicaragua might chip in. Whether Cuba is a satellite of Venezuela or the other way around is questionable, but should el Presidente cease to be el Presidente, Cuba would be among the biggest losers in the region.

If Chavez dies a political death or a real one the Castros will die a real one as the Cuban people revolt. Cuba Libre!

If Chavez looses it may kill him quicker than the cancer that's being masked with heavy doses of drugs. Chavez looses and the S. American blood suckers, Argentina, Cuba, Bolivia, Nicaragua and Equador will fall as “Daddy Warbucks” will no longer be giving them billions of Dollars.

He could just have all the ballots printed out like Saddam.

Your choice for President is:

[] Hugo Chavez

[] Please torture and kill my family

It has become known that Venezuela “sold” about 1% of its gold reserves 180-189 Million USD but know one will admit to who bought it. Not a lot of money by international standards but enough to keep Chavez living nicely in retirement.

Start watching the political Cubans in Venezuela. If they start making a move Chavez is in trouble.

Dying of cancer can be very unpleasant; looking at his photos as well as various reports in recent months, that may well be how he will die. As a cancer survivor myself, I would wish that on very few. Chavez is not one of that very few. Also, his death in that fashion would probably cause less "civil unrest" in Venezuela than would any other departure and many more lives than his would be spared.

I wonder what the chances are of El Commandante Pocito engaging in massive vote fraud if necessary.Given his reputation for morality,true democracy and fair play I'd say they're just about.....

Looking at recent photos of El Commandante Pocito it's easy to see why Michael Moore doesn't actually *go* to Cuba for health care.

The chances that el Commandante will engage in voter fraud do not exceed one hundred percent; nor do they fall below that.
