El Presidente Wins

Hugo Chavez still has a job:
President Hugo Chávez has retained power in Venezuela, after defeating opponent Henrique Capriles, by a comfortable victory of 900,000 votes.

Chávez, the longest serving president in Latin America, has been re-elected for the third time. In the months leading up to the election Capriles had been widely portrayed by the international press as his toughest opponent thus far, with some polls saying that Capriles could win the vote.
....

Chávez has promised to deepen his socialist revolution, which has been characterized by the nationalization of key industries and large spending on social programs.
Only when his country is totally bankrupt will the Revolution have been declared a success...
