Interesting thing about polls which show Rosales either a little ahead of Chavez or just about even: any vote fraud by Team Chavez would be obligated to cut it pretty closely so as not to appear blatantly fraudulent which would be the message if the results showed a Chavez "landslide". In order to make the results look "plausible", the Chavez lackeys would have to do a great deal of deliberative vote counting, cross checking with one another as to percentages, disseminating the information to "the media" with hair-trigger timing, and finally be in a position to tweak a result that might go against them into one where they get a fairly comfortable edge in numbers. This will be very interesting to watch, but until then, to keep abreast of/////wish we had emissaries there......NOT of the Jimmeh Carter type, I mean.
Don't want TOO close a total because, unless it

The European Union will have observers there -- I saw an article on this last week -- and you can bet that the Spanish will insist upon a fair rendering of a verdict. Chavez is not well-liked in Spain, even among many on the Left.
