Venezuela was looking for a change

Venezuela didn't get a change. Was their real opportunity as a country to develop a new project, but nothing happened. October 7th will a day to remember in their history.

Since 3+ months a possible change had started it's construction. A new opposition candidate (Henrique Capriles) was the person who should fought with the actual president Hugo Chávez. He did it !

But most of Venezuela's people didn't agree with him. why? That's an unknown answer that maybe in less than 6 years will be answered.

Last october 7th was the elections and the opportunity to say no more to a president that is doing what he wants with his country. Starting with the private factories and also with the money of the petrolium. 

The proof of this is the military armament that he bought during the past 10 years, also the subsidies that he give to many people (including food and buildings).

Most of Venezuela's population was looking for a change to start again, with new relations with other countries and other policies different of "Century XXI socialism" that promote Chávez during the last years.

Most of the population decided to re-elect Hugo Chávez. But a lot of people (more than 6 million) supported Capriles.

Probably hugo chavez will apply what he said in his victory speech (work with the opposition). But Venezuela can't trust in his words because the President didn't do ever. 

Nowdays the only chance is to wait for his actions. He will be the same? 

Chávez told that day (october 7th) that this period will be the best of the last 3.

Many people hope that those words become truth.

The change maybe arrive in the future (Chávez told that he only want to be until 2019 in the presidence). 

But maybe it will be late for Venezuela in 6 years.

Countdown has started in Venezuela

Countdown for presidential elections and also for a change has started in Venezuela, a Latin American country who had the same president since 12+ years ago.
The change mentioned can be done in two different ways. If the actual 'leader' continues in his position, that country can submerge in a process to lose all it's democracy, all it's autonomy because all the things will be controlled by the same 'leader' who will do whever he wants (more than today).
The other change is the other candidate, the opposition one. Younger than the actual president, that 'new leader' is looking for all the people that doesn't like the actual president. That candidate can develop new proposals if he wins next october 7th.
Sounds difficult, but not impossible. This candidate, Henrique Capriles, should win against a president who has all the state-force with him. Should win against a powerful machine that maybe is using the petrolium money (state money).
Also there's more candidates. 5 more, but Capriles is the real face that can win against the president.

Since 1+ year the surveys became popular to see what candidate can win (virtually). Many times the president is in the 1st place, other time Capriles. But the real one will be in 1+ month.
So, the countdown has started and it's time to look what are doing both candidates to win.

'Super tuesday'

By A.J. ND citizen.
I consider myself to be a republican voter.  Where I live in North Dakota, USA, we are agricultural and oil minded people.  These are the two industries that make up most of our communities.  There isn't a real republican canidate that stands heads and shoulders above the rest.  I think it will be between Romney and Santorum, with Romney eventually winning the republican bid.  Historically republicans in office help the industries fore mentioned.  I do not believe we have a potential republican canidate strong enough or popular enough, to "knock" the democratic leader / president Obama out of office.  We are lucky that our political party retains majority in the house of representatives.
