Hugo Chavez on the brink of recall? “The Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez, looked to be losing his grip on power last night as exit polls showed him to be trailing the opposition by almost a million votes.” We'll know tomorrow, based on the reaction of the lefty blogs.

Update: Well, it looks like Chavez held on in “The only OPEC nation to ever hold an election.” It’s always a wonderment to me these countries that are knee-deep in black gold have so much internal conflict.
