Here is what he said when his constitutional reforms were struck down.

"It's a piece of sh-- victory, and ours -- they can call it a defeat, but -- it was courageous, full of valor, full of dignity," he said at the Miraflores presidential palace with his top military commanders.


He also stated that he is interested in trying again.

"Get ready, because a new offensive is coming," Chavez said after breaking into a news conference being given by the military high command to address issues surrounding Sunday's vote. "If the people collect the signatures, the reform can be submitted for a referendum again."

If he does indeed put an end to his term limits and other constitutional reforms up for referendum again, will the segment of the voters who accomplished what he referred to as a "piece of shit victory" come around and vote for it?
