New Venezuela-- Progress or Digress?

THIS is my blog. It is a project for University, but once it is finished I will continue to update it. I am new to the blogging world and don't get paid to do this, so if at first my posts are lacking its because I haven't the time (School) or practice, yet... Alas, summer is nearly here and I will have much more time to post updates.

I am excited to see what happens in the legislative elections this fall. I am betting the Chavistas will loose some seats; that is, unless Chavez tears up the constitution (again) and loyalist groups stand up to the portion of the military that would dispute a authoritarian dictatorship...more to come when I have more time.
