For a moment I did believe Venezuela would get rid of Chavez today. This, however, wouldn't have changed anything, but a face. If Chavez leaves, it won't get rid of the half of the country that still likes him and wants him, and I'm willing to bet defeating Chavez will only make his supporters fight harder, longer and dirtier (and by dirtier I'm not implying that they always play dirty or that the opposition are little angels, because they aren't). But Chavez was not defeated today... At this very minute Venezuela is celebrating and mourning at the same time. What a mess of a bipolar country! Thinking about it freaks me out a little.
