I don't trust Capriles but if I was Venezuelan I might be ready for a break from Chavez, especially if for whatever reason my family had to leave.

It's interesting to note that the rest of Latin America was in favor of Chavez winning, so the status quo, for a while might be the best for all.

He's done some great things & then he's done some not so great things. But all in all, he was democratically elected by the people. That's all you can ask for, free & fair elections.
