Hugo Chavez: Loses Constitutional Vote

From AP via Breitbart.com:

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - Humbled by his first electoral defeat ever, President Hugo Chavez said Monday he may have been too ambitious in asking voters to let him stand indefinitely for re-election and endorse a huge leap to a socialist state.

“I understand and accept that the proposal I made was quite profound and intense,” he said after voters narrowly rejected the sweeping constitutional reforms by 51 percent to 49 percent.

Another quasi-democracy saved… For now. Oh yeah: Don’t buy gas from this Ass.
