That's Roy Carson's site, it shuts this browser down, if memory serves .... anyway, after all his ballyhoo on Crystallex it's hard to be impressed with the man's judgment .... i read his site some on a friend's computer a few months ago, it was pretty whacked-out stuff, dramatic as always .... and extremely pro-chavista, he's definitely taken a partisan side

Nobody's going to win if Chávez doesn't get recalled, and very likely no one will win if he does, because what chavistas point out as the peril could well be the case, that the same old greasy oligarchs from before get back into power ..... i guess Hugo or Dubya could feel himself to be winner, but venezolanos will lose either way .... the only salvation for V is for some leadership to arise from among the Ni-Nis, i think .... somebody untainted by either side, with entirely new ideas ..... there seems something classically 'left-right' there, a real true commie/fascist split ..... not that i know the place well, or am even well-read on it recently, i just had a fair bit to do lately with a venezolano, he's rabidly chavista, there's no rationality there, i can only imagine what the old corruptos would be like if they got power now

I did hear the votes will likely not be counted till morning, if then ..... there was some news site claiming a victory for the Nos based on exit polls, then the BBC here says exit polls are illegal, pending evidence to the contrary i am inclined to believe them - news.bbc.co.uk
