Go Nicolás Maduro

Capriles looks young, I see what they're trying to do getting a fresh face but Maduro will win.

I really hope so

Only a week left! Last time the turnout was 15 million, wouldn't be surprised if a similar turnout occurred (or at least 14 million).

Capriles needs at least 7 million votes to have a real shot.

He's allowed to support any of the candidates! You can debate with him but let's try not to fight.

My analysis on the October results:

Last time the turnout was 15,176,253 (the country has around 29 million people) but many of the votes for Capriles were counted as invalid (nearly 300k) cause some parties supporting him retired his support and on top of that around 70k votes went to Reina Sequera cause she was under a party called "Unidad Democrática" who sounds a lot like "Mesa de la Unidad Democrática".

He got 6,591,304 counted votes but many people believe he got around 6.8-6.9 million if we count the people who voted for him but their votes didn't count. I think 7 million is easily within his range considering many people who used to support Chávez don't support Maduro.

The thing is Chávez got 8,191,132 votes which isn't within Capriles range, he needs to convince many undecided people and also get a lot of people who voted for Chávez to vote for him so Maduro can get less than 8 million and Capriles go way beyond 7 million.. He's going literally on an uphill battle but it's not impossible.

Omg at these two videos from the rally Capriles did today in Caracas

I always post this kind of videos cause they're recorded by the people and not by TV cameras so there isn't any bias or any flattering angles, etc.

Some new polls show Capriles has gained ground. Some peole are very hopeful Capriles has a shot while others don't know what to believe cause last time one opinion poll said he would win.

DatinCorp:

Maduro: 44%
Capriles: 43 %

Datamática:

Maduro: 34.9%
Capriles: 39.7%

Regardless of opinion polls remember to exercise your right to vote and to decide your future. Think about what's best for Venezuela in the long run.

Venezuela is getting a step closer.
Datamatica's poll has 39 percent of votes for Capriles than Maduro.
DatinCorp poll has 44 percent of votes for Maduro than Capriles but Capriles being closer one percent of votes.

It's incredible the energy you feel because of all these million of people united to support one president. The reallity is that Hugo Chávez did an amazing job dividing the country in two options.. But Venezuela as country is really polarized, it's like two halfs

Even pollsters recognize how difficult it is to predict elections as fast and hard fought, undoubtedly represent one of the most crucial elections in the history of the country, for we know that the nation is going through its best.

A curious fact is the words of the late ex-President Hugo Chavez: "Capriles win the election when I die"

Ironic?

One good thing Chavez did was to elevate nationalism one way or another. When I was a child I remember people weren't very proud of being Venezuelan, now almost everyone is. I hope Capriles is able to turn that common ground into positive change and reduce the differences..

Yeah they both have a clear opposite stand on the issue.

I just can't with the RETARDED (yes, I said that) people who're willing to hand the country to the bus driver and his fellow low lives. Obviously neither them nor these chavistas are as smart as Chávez. There's so much bullsh*t one can take.

And don't come for me Glam I wanna rant cause I can't do it on twitter or something, I just might get arrested.

Are you with us? (The Opposition)

I mean, believe this: The last 20 years (yeah more than Chavez's goverment) have been horrible for our country, Venezuela has decreased a lot if we're talking in general about quallity of life.. But Gosh!:

Henrique Capriles is not Carlos Andres Pérez or Rafael Caldera (previous Presidents, called part of the 4th Republic) They did their mistakes, we know

And Nicolás Maduro is not Hugo Chávez, he's not his son or whatever you want to call him, I don't know what's the hope on that guy

It's so embarrasing, I mean, if you see him you want to laugh of him 'cause he's so dumb

He doesn't even know Venezuela's Basic Geography

nnnnnnn I think I've made my position very clear in this thread.

Maduro is so ****ing dumb

He's even worse than Rosales. I can't believe that Chavez (say what you want, but the man was really smart) thought this was a good idea.

Capriles is SOOO winning. If he doesn't, this is totally rigged.

I don't believe Caldera was THAT bad. He was just too old, IIRC his first period was one of the best from 4th Republic. (CAP was just god-awful indeed)

Both Carlos Andrés Perez and Caldera had good first terms. Let's remember there was a war in the middle east back then and oil prices skyrocketed to a similar place where they are today so they had a strong social investment (especially during CAP's first term). When CAP and Caldera became presidents again during the late 80s and early 90s the price of oil had plummeted and the Venezuelan was too used to social welfare to make the necessary cuts and Venezuela went down one of its worse crisis.

In 1989, the IMF proposed a serie of cuts that greatly affected the lower classes who saw many of their social benefits cut and some public companies were sold to the private sector to generate short-term income for the country to pay its debts. By the mid 90's Venezuela was immersed in a deep crisis that exploded during the 1994 Banking Crisis when huge banks like Banco de Venezuela, Consolidado, Latino and many others defaulted. The inflation peaked at all-time high of 100% during 1996 and people working in 17 major banks lost their jobs among many other companies. It was truly an economic disaster which was the perfect storm for Chavez to arrive and impose whatever system he wanted cause the common Venezuelan was extremely disappointed with the old system. I'd say that most economic policies during the past 25 years have been disastrous for the country.

Here are the oil prices historically:

The red line is adjusted for inflation.

4 days to go, Venezuela.

Anyways, I think this year might be the year that RCTV may be back on the air? After 5 years (almost 6) without being on the open signal of Venezuela.
