Let me get this one more time. I remove the sword, plunge it deep
into my belly, twist it several times, pull it out and repeat. Got it!

Incredible, I could never have guessed Chavez would lose.

A lot of No’s were planning to stay home according to some polls.

He will have to pull a “Reichstag Fire” trick out of his hat to justify what he wants to do.

Is Jimmah Catarrh on his way to look for the irregularities that cost poor Mr. Chavez his well deserved, overwhelming victory?

He can have about five more referendums before that time. Venezuelans can only hope the tide has turned for him The only thing that's going to stop him is if his bullet riddled corpse floats out to sea on one of those tides.

I am sure Hugo has a "plan B"....there are
FIVE more years until the next scheduled Presidential election. Let's see what happens in the interim.
My guess: heavier crackdowns on his political enemies, and severe punishments for the local "allies" of Hugo who didn't "persuade" enough votes to show up in the ballot box.

happily would have bet money against it, even at absurd odds
clearly someone screwed up on his end.
To: james500
He’s there until 2013 anyway? Goodness. He can have this vote again, can’t he?
To: REDWOOD99
WoooHooo!!! That means the vote was too big to cheat!=D
The problem with "useful idiots" is just like the "Gore-Fraud of 2000", they just can't count reliably. They didn't manufacture enough votes in time before they got busted.

There was a quote, which escapes me now, as the EU Constitution ratification was failing in France, “If it passes, we continue. If it fails, we proceed”.
I do not expect Hugo Chavez to give up easily. His next attempt will be to try to pass these things piecemeal.

He can have about five more referendums before that time. Venezuelans can only hope the tide has turned for him. Many people opposed to the referendum were calling for a boycott of this vote because they did not what to legitimize the process. This win should put an end to that nonsense. When you stay home, you let the bad guys win (sound familiar?)
Hopefully, voting against Hugo Chavez will become a good habit for the people of Venezuela...

Maria Conchita Alonso is a Cuban-born actress who lived in Venezuela. She's a vocal critic of Hugo. (Sort of the anti-Naomi Campbell, with brains.)
To: james500
It’s only 2007. He’s not out until 2013. He’ll be back again.
