Poll wars in Venezuela

I did manage to check some of the news and got some messages. Nothing really surprising. On one side the silly CANTV/chavismo fight keeps going on and even the CNE seems to be putting some credence to the rumors. Which right there for me makes me smell a rotten fish. But we will see later what to expect. Again, and it bears repeating it over and over: this is the only country in the world where the government controls every thing and yet accuses the opposition of committing fraud...

On the other side "sophisticated" polls considering the class distribution of Venezuela keep giving contradictory results. First question: after so many years of chronic crisis do class divisions mean what they used to mean? Second question: how can one quantify class in Venezuela where statistics have ceased long ago to be credible?

I still think that opinion polls are pretty useless in the present election in Venezuela. It is simply too atypical to poll using dishwasher detergent like and dislike measurement tools.

Back to Caipirihna.

Only 10 days until the Recall Election on Hugo Chavez. Do I want him out? SI!
