Basically a concession speech.

He’s repeating the results.

“The results are irreversible, fine, good.”

Thanking voting officials....

Chavez himself just repeated the numbers that said “No” was 50+ percent and “Si” was 49%.

Still trying to figure out what else he’s babbling about.

Your English link just posted. Chavez officially lost 50.7% to 49.2%. Comments there earlier were claiming more like an 8-9% margin and commenting on delays in getting the official results out. Either they’re earlier vibes were overly optimistic or Chavez tried to cheat and fell short. By reporting close results now might he be able to try the same thing again? At least for now the good guys held on D. Its hard to call it a win with Chavez still in power for the time being.

If the “official” results are so close, the ACTUAL tallies are probably more like 60-40 NO.

“Hugo is going to find another million or so votes magically in the next few hours.

Don’t pop the champagne corks yet.”

He probably took lessons from King County in Washington State from the Governor’s race between Gregoire and Rossi.

Does anyone know when his current term actually ends, and is this it for him trying to be “President for Life” or will he just have to do it the old-fashioned way, i.e., violent coup d’etat.....

He’s trying to save face, I think. He’s calling the “one point difference” “microscopic”

Venezuela Vote Tight,
Outcome Unclear

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119664345861511203.html?mod=googlenews_wsj

“CARACAS, Venezuela — Hugo Chávez, Venezuela’s virulently anti-U.S. leader, was awaiting results late last night on by far the tightest election contest of his presidency, after failing to win the wide margin he expected in a constitutional referendum to expand executive powers and allow him to stand for election indefinitely.

Mr. Chávez had predicted the constitutional overhaul would pass by at least 10 percentage points, but senior government officials said the election was “tight.” Officials delayed the announcement of results, and Mr. Chávez suspended an evening press conference. Opponents of the referendum demanded that election officials release results. Either side will likely challenge a close outcome.

Mr. Chávez had turned the referendum into a plebiscite, telling Venezuelans that a “no” vote was tantamount to treason. A loss would be a humiliating defeat for a leader who has won every political contest by landslide margins, but he has faced growing displeasure over food shortages.”
