Yes-
The pictures in the ballot helped Chavez.
Not all but some Venezuelans could be that ignorant.
I loved the opposition comment "The capitol is Caracas not Havana."
The military might take action since nobody there seems capable of interpreting what the constitution actually says about this situation.
IMO maybe we get a bump on a smooth election/transition maybe we loose ground with a military coop.
Don't Forget-
China, Russia, Cuba may move to protect their interests in Venezuela- could be exiting.
All in our hemisphere. Will the US ignore or participate?
