...that's the reported view of National Assembly President & Chavista Diosdado Cabello, regarding Chavez's presupposed legacy of his "Bolivarian Revolution" becoming Venezuela's future, after the disappointing results for Chavez's hand-picked candidate, Nicolas Maduro.

Maduro has been named the victor in the election to be Venezuela's new president, garnering 50.7% of the vote...

...challenger Henrique Capriles captured 49.1%.

Turnout is reported to be 78%, down from the 80% turnout last October when Chavez himself defeated Capriles by 11%...

...and that shocking narrowing of the gap between the continued socialist policies of Chavez's intent and Capriles insistence that Chavista socialism is driving Venezuela to ruin, is what inspired Cabello's "profound self-criticism" comment.

The difference in this election was just short of 235K votes; Capriles is already demanding a recount.

So close to shocking the world while coming up just short...

...yet, there can be no doubt the hull of Chavismo has suffered a serious blow.

Well, of course you did...

...for first you must have an actual life to assess.

Seriously:

Have some baloney...
 
:rolleyes:

Yeah. I'll read up on Latin American politics and the Monroe Doctrine. It will come in handy in a bar or coffee shop.
 
You obviously don't believe in the When a butterfly farts in Buffalo...

...hypothesis.
 
Evidently, President Obama is having some issue with Venezuela's election...

...while other nations have been congratulating the Chavista Maduro on his win, the State Department is calling for a recount and, when asked directly if the USSA will congratulate Maduro, the reply was, "We're just not there yet."

Any way you read it, that's a stronger mandate than W ever had . . .

When a butterfly farts in Buffalo, you will find some way to link that to Obama's Marxist agenda, and that will kill you as it should, and not even your fleas nor your lice will mourn.

You and playdeau got cut from the same 2nd-grade wiffle ball team, huh?
 
The recount issue isn't before the court, but its president, Luisa Morales, appeared on television at midday to declare that the opposition call for an examination of each and every paper vote receipt had "angered many Venezuelans."

...Morales, the Supreme Court chief, said Venezuela's voting system is so automated that a manual count doesn't exist. Technically, however, a recount is possible as paper receipts are issued for every vote cast and can be checked against tallies done by each voting machine, voter registries and centralized records.

The non-partisan Academy of Political and Social Sciences at the Central University of Venezuela said paper ballots are explicitly described in Venezuela's election law as a tool for investigating vote irregularities. "Recounting votes, along with protests and peaceful demonstrations, is one of the legitimate means of democratic co-existence," it said.

...[challenger] Capriles has presented a series of allegations of vote fraud and other irregularities that he contends easily add up to more than Maduro's 262,000-vote winning margin out of about 14.9 million votes cast. In addition, the electoral council says about 100,000 votes from abroad had not been counted by Wednesday, and Capriles got about 90 percent of such overseas ballots in the October presidential election won by Chavez.

The list of alleged problems includes: — Government backers forced pro-Capriles observers out of 283 polling places at which 722,983 votes were cast, and the lack of witnesses raises the possibility of fraud, including double voting.

— Menacing bands of government supporters turned pro-Capriles voters away from the polls. — There were 3,535 damaged voting machines, representing 189,982 votes. — Voting rolls included 600,000 dead people.

Well, even if there's a recount, nothing can be done about the rest short of a do-over election (assuming the constitution even allows for that). And I don't think the Venezuelans, not even those backing Capriles, want that; they've had two presidential elections in the past eight months, they're sick of it.
 
After Obama declines to recognize him as President of Venezuela...

AFP - Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro took a swipe at Barack Obama on Saturday, calling him the "grand chief of devils" after the US president declined to recognize his contested re-election.

"We are here defending our institutions, peace, democracy, the people of Venezuela... and we can sit down with anyone, even the grand chief of devils: Obama," Maduro said in a speech.

Man, if you steal an election and still only get 50.7%, you're not thinking big enough. I hope they can reach an election result that satisfies everyone. With such a transfer of power, I think it's important that it's widely seen as legitimate, whatever the result.
