To be honest, it is a little like the Liberal Democrats in the UK always promising heaven and earth, in the full knowledge that they will never win an election and will therefore never have to live up to their manifesto commitments.

Capriles has no realistic chance of getting himself elected, so he can say anything he likes to grab the headlines.

Still torn!

Who gets the shitty end of the stick?

There is a lot of future economic pain to be had in Venezuela due to Chavez's ineptitude.

I'm sorta hoping that Maduro wins and the whole pack of cards falls on top of him. Probably will be the quickest way to de-chavismo Venezuela.

Kinda dumb, gentle transitions are better transitions. Cubans are their medical force too.

Maduro winning (& he will win) means the shortages, the devals, everything will be taken as a sign that these policies are unsustainable, without an entertaining figure behind it.

The only thing that looks as if it will COLLAPSE is the broken,hungry economies of UK and Western Europe.The Venezuelan economy will grow by 6 % this year.It grew by 5% last year........

Nicholas Maduro's special police force in Venezuela is largely Cuban.
The police have been told to shadow Capriles 24/7, in order 'to keep him safe'.
Capriles announces “No oil for Cuba!”
The 'protectors' might just fail to protect him from the 'lost bullet'.
Just a thought.

I think that was always the intention of the bus driver so that he can say 'I told you the CIA killed him!'

Capiles said no oil for Cuba?That's strange.Capriles and his CIA backed thugs do not own the oil,it is the VENEZUELAN people who will make it clear that he and his fascists will never rule Venezuela again
