A very colorful crowd.

Rats! I misread the headline. I thought it said "Miss Venezuela opposition rally (Against Chavez)", and was hoping for some pictures.

[roaddog727]

We'll be keeping an eye on this.

Via con dios, Sr. Rosales.

[chilepepper]

unfortunately, to paraphrase vladimir illyich lenin what counts is who counts the votes...

[Gay State Conservative]

There's no way that you can call these people cowards,but they *must* know that El Commandante will win with 92% of the vote.

And they must know that Jimmah will certify the results.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Someone is going to find out why Hugo has all those AKs stockpiled.

[Landru]

*Just* as you'd said days before, my friend.

Your word's, as usual.

...good as gold. ;^)

Chavez: "You are a devil, you smell like sulfur, you are a drunk, you are the demon, you are a dictator, you are an assassin Mr. Devil, you are..."

Bush: "YEAH, Yeah, yeah, WHATever... just fill'er up MonkeyBoy!"

[Jeff Head]

Thousands...tens of thousands?

Seems they are taking a cue from the US MSM and tremendously downplaying the size. That looks like several hundreds of thousands to me.

[danamco]

Tens of thousands of people have marched through the Venezuelan capital, Caracas,

Looks more to me like 100K+!!!

[bray]

Gee, almost as large as a Cindy Shiite rally??? Another story buried in PravdABDNC!

Pray for W and Our Troops

[Maelstorm]

I hope the guy has a chance but I doubt Chavez intends to let anyone get elected but himself.

[Sir_Humphrey]

How much ya wanna bet there will be no coverage of this on CNN-MSNBC-ABC-NBC-CBS?

[RatsDawg]

from the article,

"But for now, Mr Chavez still enjoys a clear lead in opinion polls because of a sense of loyalty that poor and working-class voters feel towards him."

Chavez Supporters = American Democrat Voters
