Does anybody think Hugo is just going to accept the “will of the people” and stop his campaign tor further radicalize the Venezuelan countryside?

L-no he ain’t. He will just have to be a little more vigorous in enforcing civic calm and compliance.


It’s going to be interesting watching how he reacts to this. He said he would cutoff oil sales to the US if he lost. I bet he conveniently forgets that threat.

Chavez loses constitutional vote
IAN JAMES, Associated Press
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071203/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/venezuela_constitution

CARACAS, Venezuela - President Hugo Chavez suffered a stinging defeat in a vote on constitutional changes that would have let him run for re-election indefinitely, the chief of National Electoral Council said Monday.

Voters defeated the sweeping measures by a vote of 51 percent to 49 percent, Tibisay Lucena said. Turnout was just 56 percent, Lucena said.

Chavez called it a “photo finish” immediately after the results were announced.

The referendum on constitutional changes was a critical test for a leader bent on turning this major U.S. oil provider into a socialist state. An emboldened opposition and clashes during student-led protests in recent weeks had prompted fears of bitter conflict in Chavez’s closest race in years.

One prayer answered this week. Now we have to pray that the alternative brings about some real solutions to Venezuela’s problems.

I think the King of Spain's timing was perfect.

More specifcally, a couple of weeks ago...

King Juan Carlos...leaned toward Chavez and loudly asked, "Why don't you shut up?"

Again, perfect timing.

If he’s got all those years left, then he will every year have this vote until he gets it his way.

This was wave #1.

Someone better take him out or this will indeed be Castro #2.

We respect the rules of the game

The voting official is there, we respect the process, we respect the results

I don’t have any regrets, even if we had lost by 20 points, instead of the micro difference of 1.4%, we are transparent...

This isn’t a dictatorship

We have the liberties of voting, many liberties

I understand this proposal is profound, it’s integral to the aquisition of power, intense

“President Hugo Chavez suffered a stinging defeat...”

What a beautiful phrase. Thanks for the link, and thanks to all for the links.

Once again, you heard it first at Free Republic! Some guy at AP probably saw the thread, spilled his coffee and made a call.
