Venezuela election: Chávez holds mass rally on final day of campaigning

13. My prediction? To be perfectly honest... I really don't know

I truly believe that Chávez no longer has the majority. But he will do anything to stay in power, and he's got the government's resources under his control. What gives me hope is that the opposition had the majority of votes in the 2010 parliamentary elections. And the many manifestations that Capriles has called for have shown a lot more support than Chavez's. Right now, to me, the elections seem pretty even.

Also, lemme show you an image of what Iris Valera, the woman Chávez put in charge to run the newly created Ministry of the Penitentiary System, posted on Twitter:



This is legit, check her twitter to see for yourself. In case you don't know Spanish, she's saying "Keep crying, skinnies (rough translation of "escuálidos", the term Chávez made popular when referring to anyone from the opposition). And buy LOTS of vaseline for Sunday because the rod we're gonna stick in you on the 7th is not made of water". Lemme remind you that this woman was hand picked by Chávez himself to run a MINISTRY.

AND another article where Chávez admits that his government hasn't been following his project to the fullest:

Again, you need to know Spanish to understand. Basically he admits that his government hasn't really been efficient as it could be, and yet he's asking to be re-elected for another 6 years. If his gesture as president really hasn't been efficient in 14 years, with oil prices hitting historical heights, and with pretty much a National Assembly under his control for the majority of those years, then I think it's obvious what we can expect for another 6 years.
