    Unlike Adolf Bush Hugo Chavez admits his failures to keep his people in fear..

    yet we still support our numbnut with war in Iraq nad the rest of Republican BS...



    Venezuelan voters narrowly rejected a constitutional referendum that would have bolstered President Hugo Chavez's embrace of socialism and granted an indefinite extension of his eligibility to serve as president, the National Electoral Council reported early Monday.

    Voters Sunday search for their names on lists at a polling station in Caracas.

    About 51 percent of voters opposed the amendments, while approximately 49 percent were in favor of them.

      Must be nice to be able to vote on constitutional changes. Adolf Bush just does it on a whim.

              Another nice aspect is that people actually made the effort to vote and returned a 49% and 51% verdict.

              Good example of democracy in action, a decent electoral turnout and Chavez accepting losing

                      Until he demands a recount and things go more his way.....

                      I think he will pull something along those lines.

                          Think it was around 9 million of a possible 16 mill L-Pink - so over 56% turnout, which is fairly reasonable.

                              Na.. elections are well-monitored and Chavez has already accepted defeat and thanked his opposition for their role.

                              But.. he's in power till 2012 and does have fairly extensive powers already, so, who knows - scenarios can change in 4+ years.

                                  If Chavez was a tad more wicked, he could have gotten some of them Diebold machines...

                                      The Venz govt seem proud of their voting facilties and ensuring everyone can vote with min fuss - dunno what they are, but Chavez was claiming they were 'state of the art'.

                                      Best voting system on the planet is in Brazil - very efficient (with audit trails ) and far ahead of any western countries.
