I agree with the last statement completely, and with
the first to an extent.  It doesn't seem like Chavez
had much of a chance.  Otoh, in the current political
climate, she should have known better and should have
laid all the facts on the table as soon as she had an
inkling that she was going to be nominiated.  By doing
otherwise, Chavez did herself in.

Both Bush and Gore are lame bulbs.  Each side has
called the other side's candidate a "puppet," and each
side is correct.  I suspect there are smarter and
perhaps more frightening minds behind the curtains, in
both parties.  (Cheneys scare the heck out of me.)

No doubt that's true.  Sad, isn't it?
