[conservative in nyc]

According to Wikipedia, Zulia has a weird political system where if the governor is from one party, the other party controls municipal government, which leads to competition to do things better (or sometimes spend more on pork barrel projects). People are moving to its largest city, Maracaibo, even from Caracas.

I'd expect a fairly large turnout in Caracas for Rosales - he claims to be leading in some outlying areas of Greater Caracas.

Oh how I hope you are right conservative. I am going to make a point of watching Univision's Ultima Hora news Saturday evening. They have been paying a lot of attention to Rosales lately and if he gets a good turnout, it'll be front and center.

One way or another, I'll let the board know.
