Bad News in Venezuela

Hugo Chavez has won reelection in Venezuela, according to this Reuters article. That is bad news for oil-rich Venezuela, for other nations in the region, and for the U.S.

Like Juan Peron in Argentina some decades ago, Chavez is very popular among his nation's poor. Even more than our President, Hugo Chavez believes in the redistribution of national wealth.
