The Bush administration yesterday welcomed Venezuela's appointment of a new electoral agency as a first step toward resolving a long-running political crisis with a referendum on the presidency of Hugo Chavez.

"We expect that this decision will facilitate the peaceful, democratic, constitutional and electoral solution to Venezuela's political crisis," said Philip Reeker, State Department spokesman.

Send Ted Costa and Darryl Issa to Venezuela..

8-to-5 against the Venezuelan referendum occurring within its Constitutional time limit, and being conducted on Constitutional lines. The Venezuelan Constitution is free for all to read with a simple Google search, so the terms of any such wager should not be in dispute. (except, of course, for lawyers, but I was speaking of normal humans.)
