Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has won a fourth term in office after defeating opposition leader Henrique Capriles, electoral officials say.

Mr Chavez won 54% of the vote, the country's electoral council announced.

Noisy celebrations among Chavez supporters erupted across the capital Caracas following the result.

Turnout was 80% in the hotly contested election and voting was extended beyond the official closing time at some polling stations with long queues.

[Racehorse]

Anybody surprised?

[Jonty30]

Shocked, I tell you!

[Olog-hai]

Of course he did.

Old saying: “The Devil takes care of his own.”

[Viennacon]

The banana republic marches on

[Tzimisce]

Those who vote decide nothing.

Those who count the vote (like Chavez and his supporters) decide everything.

[Defiant]

It’s not official til Jimmy Carter approves. This just in: he does!

[Perseverando]

It’s not the people who vote; it’s the people who count the votes.

[DesertRhino]

The cancer will get him soon. Maybe a sane replaceent can happen then.

This is what is in store for America is this monster Obama wins here in a few weeks. It's time for us to step up. The time is now.

In Venezuela ,there are shortages of food in the stores. Socialism always brings rationing , shortages, poverty, oppression, slavery and great suffering. This is what we have in store for America if this POS Obama wins.

I met a man from Venezuela who told that Chavez said the same things Obama did when it was first running. Socialists are all the same everywhere.

[oust the louse]

I thought this guy was on his death bed?

[One Name]

here we go!

Stability in the region is assured. May Hugo be smitten with a large dose of Godsmack.

Hope he enjoyed the run.

[Sarah Barracuda]

A little voter fraud here, a little voter fraud there, and you have Chavez winning. Somewhere, Obama is asking for those guys to count the votes here

[LUV W]

Wow! So NOT surprised!

[NoLibZone]

As predictable as our regimes economic report.

They sat next to each other in the 400 series Marx classes.

[LUV W]

Heck....Castro’s been dying for decades! Who doesn’t think
this monster will outlast us all, too!

[WXRGina]

Yep. Why do we imagine the “mainstream” polls here in America are showing “Obama” with close to 50 percent of the country’s vote? “They” are just prepping us for massive election fraud on Nov 6th, because that criminal creep in the White House does not have NEARLY the support the media portrays.

Thanks Racehorse. Congratulations from the Obama White House will be Fast and non-Furious.

[SeminoleCounty]

I’m sure Sean Penn is thrilled.

[USNBandit]

There are some turds that refuse to flush

[bgill]

Color me surprised!

Not.

Moochelle is on the phone right now asking him to explain to her how he got the fix in.

[duffee]

I assume he got 115% of the zombie vote.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

I feel badly for Venezuela... but they did have a free country once, before they willingly turned it over to this bloated demon in the name of “fairness” and “change”.

I’m just glad we’re smart enough to not make the same kind of mistakes here.

[3Fingas]

More takers than makers in that country... we are heading that direction now...hopefully, our ship will right itself before that happens.

[duffee]

Some comments are so clear they do not need the /s

[gaijin]

Usa: vanilla thrilla rumbles with the mulatto castrato...!

[3Fingas]

The Venezuelan vote is probably just as accurate as the employment numbers from our own BLS.

[SpaceBar]

[verum ago]

*sigh*

Exit polling showed the challenger winning by 3%
Then they shut the exit polling down, put troops and soldiers into the street.
Then announced that Huge-o won by 10%.

I feel for the majority in Venezuela. May that bastard’s cancer come back and relegate him to a short chapter in the history books.

[verum ago]

put troops and soldiers into the street.

troops and soldiers... I guess I need to get a job in the Department of Redundancy Department.

Meant to say tanks and soldiers. It's past my bedtime.

"Hugo Chavez STEALS The Election"

There, title of the article fixed... Is anyone surprised? Thought not. God knows the truth, Chavez will rot in He'll for what he has done to the country and people of Venezuela.

Pat Robertson was right concerning what should have been done with this communist monster.

[Rome2000]

uNIVERSAL sUFFRAGE

[Rome2000]

The USSSA is Venezuela in 8 years.

What happens when the people the Founders warned against getting the franchise get the franchise

[ObozoMustGo2012]

Are you being sarcastic on that last part???

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Is 0bama going to STEAL our election too?

[Nextrush]

Needless to say, sh*t happens.

Venezuela will continue to go downhill with Chavez alive or quite possibly dead in the coming months and years.

Another sad story like Zimbabwe.

[Clint N. Suhks]

NFW so many people are this stupid.

Gives you pause what our publik schools are turning out.

[tpmintx]

...Somewhere, Obama is asking for those guys to count the votes here

They already do. U.S. Investigates Voting Machines’ Venezuela Ties

Old Story, but still the same story.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Those who count the vote (like Chavez and his supporters) decide everything.

I believe it was Mao who said that, wasn't it? It doesn't matter how people vote, it only matters as to who counts the votes.

[Sarah Barracuda]

SEIU and ACORN will be the ones counting the votes for sure. No wonder Obama could care less about these debates, he knows he has his buddies rigging the machines

[MCH]

When big government tyrants like Chavez and other strong man socialists get power, all "elections" become a joke. You really don't have a clue what the sham "vote" really is for one of their show elections. It really would be interested to find out the ACTUAL vote tally.

Is he keeping enough of his parasite base that gets free sh!t happy to stay in power, or is his highly corrupt government just making up election results to mask an actual loss by a populace that has serious remorse about ever putting a tyrant into power? With tyrannical "socialists" - once they get power you just never know anymore.

[Nextrush]

“The Leader” is speaking from the balcony to a crowd right now. I’m watching it online from Globovision in Venezeuela.

[rfp1234]

Just like Mussolini.

[clintonh8r]

He’ll be smelling the sulphur for real before his term is out....

[Democrat_media]

Democrats will try to steal the election here in the U.S.A in a few weeks, the same thing here. We have to be vigilant.

[Isabel2010]

BULLS@IT!!!!

[dfwgator]

Where’s Pinochet when we need him?

[bimboeruption]

It was Stalin.

[Tzimisce]

Stalin

[Vendome]

Well that was unexpected...
