The October 7 election day post

21:50

Apparently we lost. As I predicted, a high participation favors Chavez. And it was high, very high.

The future of Venezuela News and Views

I should write my plans for the blog before the result comes in tonight. There are two scenarios, one with a sub scenario.

Election day coverage at VN&V

The bad news is that I will stay at home passing on the possibility of being in the Caracas excitement and even get an accreditation as a "foreign corespondent"  to hang out with some of these journalists and assorted who have covered rather not well the election and see their faces when Capriles wins as this humble blogger writes since August. Yes, I am that confident.

Last call for the mini VN&V CNE

Although I may have enough voting centers for my coverage I really would like to have a half dozen more. I have nothing in Zulia, The Andes or Bolivar.  And I have readers there.......  You can send them as late as tomorrow 11 AM.

New poll

The first poll, reserved to those voting in the election (I hope you respected that) went well and is still up, I have added another poll for all, voting or not.  Enjoy.

The S.O. did make it again to Bolivar avenue

Except that this time he was flabbergasted. At least that inspired him to make more pictures than last time, even if at times these were somewhat off color to downright upsetting. Escabrosa is the word he used. As you may recall, he went last Sunday to see Capriles while yesterday was a mandatory business trip to see Chavez. This is the fate of so many public employees who did not enjoy at all their day in the rain, in the trash, in chaos. 

As always, click to enlarge.

The first picture had to be the talk of the day, buses everywhere, blocking whole street where they parked, for hours, submerging the city in chaos.

Reminder VN&V mini CNE

Although not yet a rousing success the offers received are interesting enough that I am launching the operation anyway.  That is, I have several tables in the 50-50 zone to make any early result we may get meaningful.

So, if you are in a voting station or if you know people that are in a voting station and are willing to communicate to you the results of their tables and anecdotes during election day, please, get in touch with me to add you to the project danielinyaracuy (at) gmail . com. "applications" are received until Saturday afternoon.  Get moving!
