Two people murdered an hour per day. The situation that underlies that. Cenk was fair, too. freshwest Feb 2014 #111

I think that the logical next leader is Diosdado Cabello. MADem Feb 2014 #112

That should satisfy everyone, particularly if he's a honest man. I edited and asked questions, but freshwest Feb 2014 #113

Very troubling words from the link: freshwest Feb 2014 #20

He won by 1% last time after a heavily rushed election. joshcryer Feb 2014 #23

The link says successive electoral victories. And 1% is still a win. The thing that struck me, IIRC, freshwest Feb 2014 #25

VP succession is weird in Venezuela. joshcryer Feb 2014 #26

That is weird. But certainly explains the anomaly. Looks like civil war in Caracas, maybe all over? freshwest Feb 2014 #27

I think it is overblown. joshcryer Feb 2014 #28

Is that the aftermath of the demonstrations we've seen? Looks very depressing. Anyway, good luck, VN freshwest Feb 2014 #31
