(62,325 posts)Bush would not have won a third term. People had begun to awaken to the destruction his regime had caused in this country and I doubt his own party would have encouraged him to run for a third term.
Chavez is a historical figure in South America. He has brought the whole region out of despair and back to sovereignty, not to mention totally pummelled the far right and their Corporate Monsters who kept South Americans in poverty and illiteracy for decades. He is loved in Latin America and in most other parts of the world since they are not exposed to the US right wing propaganda we get here which will always slam any leader who puts his own people first, over and above Corporations.
I am so relieved the right winger did not win even though they tried to pass him off as supportive of some of Chavez' popular policies. We all kow what the Republicans do to the people once they get into power.
