Venezuela Election
The Venezuelan election is too close to call right now. As you may know, the Venezuelan people are deciding on a series of constitutional reforms which would eliminate presidential term limits and allow Chavez to consolidate power.
Chavez has already warned that if the United States try to interfere with the election, he would stop oil exports. It wouldn’t surprise me that if Chavez loses this election, he will blame the United States.
But I doubt Chavez will lose. It’s much more likely that Chavez will fudge the results of a close election and declare himself the winner. That’s how Socialist dictators operate. That’s how all dictators operate.

Reuters talks of YES vote - Bolivarians start to celebrate
http://hovreferendum.wordpress.com/
8.20 pm in Caracas, no official results are yet known, but according to figures quoted by Reuters, the YES vote would win by between 6 and 8 points, and this is what the international media (never friendly to the Bolivarian revolution) is starting to report. Other sources give the YES a bigger lead.
Bolivarian supporters have started to gather outside Miraflores palace to celebrate. The leader of the reactionary students Yon Goicoechea appeal to his supporters to stay in the polling stations and “defend the vote”, implying that fraud is going on.
¡Viva la Revolución Bolivariana!
¡Viva El Processo!
¡Viva Chávez!

No, actually it's quite nice when the people get a chance to speak:
Chavez loses constitutional vote
