And I hope that those who couldn't be bothered to vote in previous years, for any number of reasons, will find it exciting to go to the horse races and to cast their ballot.<br /><br />Daniel, please, more stories of Yare-based fruit sellers and anyone else you come across.

Chavismo is purposefully causing more confusion about this issue to keep the opposition off balance and affect the legitimacy of the primaries.If Capriles wins, there will be a question of whether those who voted for him because they really wanted to or because they thought they would lose their vote by voting their preferred candidate.Very importantfirepigettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17348890269608169297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-67509605219915165652011-10-31T03:07:17.921+01:002011-10-31T03:07:17.921+01:00Pablo Medina won't drop out.

Also, all opposition parties MUST sign on to a coalition platform to oppose the Chavezian AdHoc mumbo jumbo. Selling this platform will take all of the politicos of all the political parties standing beside the the winner.Rogernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-43081696451906525502011-10-30T16:41:29.707+01:002011-10-30T16:41:29.707+01:00Good post, Daniel, good post.

i...island<br /><br />you should read me more consistently :)<br /><br />i have been writing for years now that the second round balloting is a must to build consensus. and for months that the MUD risked a lot by not incorporating a second round in february. in fact in a post early this year i was advocating primaries in november and second round in december. but nobody at the MUD pays attention to me.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128609182544333477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-33125971026220392892011-10-30T12:13:23.410+01:002011-10-30T12:13:23.410+01:00Great analysis Daniel.
