Puto Chavez will not give up. His term is not up until 2013. That gives him plenty of time to try this again, in one form or another.

I was thinking the same thing. Likely Chavez conceding defeat is simply a ploy to add legitimacy to the vote. Which is probably planned to turn around in his favor in the 11th hour.

Can this be true? Somehow I think Chavez will find a locked Seattle closet full of enough votes to put him over the top by a comfortable margin.Hey now! Some of those votes were found in a closet in ALASKA!

Good news for now. Chavez will just run the referendum again next year (he has until 2013 in office)and again until he does win.
I think we will see a lot of Venezuelan economic refugees in the years to come.

I wonder if there is any provision for an impeachment or a recall in Venezuela? Provision or not, it won't be pretty.

“It said the trend could not be reversed and declared Chavez the loser.”
A big thank you, Ernest. The Miami Herald site had three or four articles about the vote, of various ages, but nothing up to date.

From Flopping Aces:
The Gateway Pundit reports that the Dictator Chavez claims to have won.
**************************EXCERPT***********************
CHAVEZ WINS!!!
Aljazeera reports:
Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president, is heading for victory in a referendum on allowing him to remain in power as long as he keeps winning elections, two government-linked sources said citing exit polls.
Reuters reports that “Government Sources” have confirmed that Chavez has won.
Sky News and China News are reporting the win for Chavez.
Ahmadinejad ought to be calling soon for congrats.
Daniel in Venzuela says it is not yet over- the mess is growing.
Miguel is reporting that the Chavistas have withdrawn their congratulatory ad for the papers tomorrow.

Not much surprises me any more, but I am absolutely shocked at this news!

The US needs to relieve him of duty, clean out his Arab terrorists and Russian “advisors”, cancel the Kalishnikov factories and advanced fighter purchases, and help Columbia wipe out the “insurgents” currently being supported and trained by Chavez.
Oh, and blow his head off on TV. I wanna see that.

Chavez is a snake. I find it hard to believe that this
is the end of it.
