Former President Jimmy Carter will arrive in Venezuela on Aug. 11 to oversee preparations for a vote on President Hugo Chavez's rule.
Jennifer McCoy, a spokeswoman for the Atlanta-based Carter Center, said Carter would head the center's team of international election observers for the Aug. 15 vote and election preparations.

Carter is an idiot.
Carter will help keep the dictator in office!!
Here's hoping he gets hold of a bad enchilada. They do eat enchiladas in Venezuela, I presume.
Sure hope he is back by November to help the UN monitor the US elections.
He's much worse than an idiot--he's a menace to the Republic. Try reading "The Real Jimmy Carter" by Hamilton (?--one forget names now and then since I returned the book to the library a while back). It is an eye opening book about the Rotting Peanut, who is shown to be a lying, nasty, potty-mouthed politician (much like all RAT pols) who screwed up virtually everything he touched, sort of a reverse King Midas, but everything Carter touches turned to manure.
Afraid not. They eat a lot of rice and beans and fish, however. The Venezolanos I know are good folks, but the lower classes can be super violent. Caracas is the only city in Latin America where I watched street battles with copter gun ships mowing down the Cuban-backed lefties at the University and spraying those hiding in high-rise apartment houses. Scary bunch! It could easily happen again as Cuba is once again arming and "advising" the leftist admin.
Carter is going to play around with the wrong crowd someday, and become toast, as in post.
Jimmy Carter leading a group of election observers.
On a business trip in the early 90s, with my IBM clients, I stayed at the swank Tamanaco Hotel in Caracus. There was a coup going on and we had to stay indoors for a few days. The President (I don't remember his name) was flown out by helicopter gunship on the pad behind the hotel.
I want Oliphant she is smarter than Carter.
Are we going to see photos of Carter examining hanging chads?
The Tamanaco was where I always stayed too. From the back patio of the hotel, we watched the battles from a relatively safe viewpoint, but bullets were flying into the high rises just a few blocks away. That's one nervous place! Chile was another as was Argentina.
