I met an (~European country) Ambassador to Venezuela last month in his Caracas residence. His opinion is that the left will support Chaves in the August referendum. My business partners there are CLOSE to senior military commanders. They think otherwise. They think there will be a huge turnout against Chavez in a constitutional election. I like the Venezuelans. My friends are former fighter pilots trained by USAF. One was a General officer in his career. Nice people.
