I just found it while searching for recent news about the election tomorrow. I do have a question for you though. You talk about a 2million or 2.5million turn out, what about the votes from abroad? How will those be counted? I know for a fact that there will be thousands of Venezuelans going to the polls here in the U.S. tomorrow. Good luck with your trip. I will be praying and also waiting for your answer.

I'm with...Great predictions. Have a nice trip.<br /><br />I'm with you on the possibility of getting 2.5 million, but perhaps it will end somewhere between 2 and 2.5. If the turnout is less than 1.5 we're totally screwed and Chavez will be easily reelected. The bigger the crowd, the better. <br /><br />Just the plan of Chavismo of transforming the Youth Day event into a concert with reggeaton and rock for political purposes angers me. That tells you how they really feel about tomorrow. They will waste more money instead of helping Maturin after the huge screwup by PDVSA. Sigh.<br /><br />Maybe I'm angry, but tomorrow I will let my anger out in a constructive way.

If HCR can make a good showing there (he campaigned in Carora) and if he hold enough votes from MCM & DA in East Barquisimeto & cabudare, he will get Lara.geha714https://www.blogger.com/profile/12680077918707375990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-13326907602542555702012-02-11T22:46:11.795+01:002012-02-11T22:46:11.795+01:00I do not doubt it.

Even though Irribaren is the electoral mastodont, that PJ and Falcon are strong there is not enough for a "state slide".Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128609182544333477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-17033071432639477052012-02-11T19:08:47.842+01:002012-02-11T19:08:47.842+01:00Thanks for the post, Daniel.

Let's see how much votes he can take, given the support of AD, COPEI and UNT. <br /><br />Having the support of Henri Falcon has been a big plus to Henrique. The only problem could be if MCM (and DA in minor levels) can take some votes from him in the hardcore opposition strongholds of East Barquisimeto & Cabudare. She's rising here in the last few weeks.geha714https://www.blogger.com/profile/12680077918707375990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-38873852084062347872012-02-11T18:48:13.358+01:002012-02-11T18:48:13.358+01:00Thanks for the Info, Daniel.
