Just now on Yakkity&Drones, Dick Morris said that with Raoul in power, Cuba could become a modern democracy in "a few years".

I know nothing about Raoul, but I'm pretty sure Morris is a world-class jackass.

Help me out here!!

Raoul Castro isn't well liked meaning he's going to have to assert power with an iron fist from the get go, even steam rolling over some other commies to try and keep it.

My bet is that Raoul has a plane ready for him to make a run for Venezuela at a moment's notice.

Morris is being an optimist.

Raoul is more of a hard liner and a stronger believer in the marxist garbage then Fidel is.

And from his repuation and experience running the state machine, and his more hands on role, appears to have a "stronger stomach" then Fidel.

Take Fidel, make him more sadistic, more hands on cruel, lessen the ego, and multiply lack of respect for life and multiply the dedication to stalinist marxism, and you have Raoul.
