First of all, Charlie has passed my position in SC but the word is that the situation on the ground in FL is looking much worse than up here.

Secondly, on Sunday Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez will face an election to oust him as the rich in the country would like or to stay in office as the poor would like. This, of course has strings attached to Washington and Oil. Chavez, the victim of a sloppy US backed coup detat, offered some strong words for bush earlier this month:

"Look out! On 15 August I am going to hit [a home run] so hard that it will land in the gardens of the White House"

Chavez was also threatened by his rival and Ex-President Carlos Andres Perez in an Interview with Venezuelan newspaper El Nacional:

"Violence will allow us to remove him. That's the only way we have... [Chavez] must die like a dog, because he deserves it."

Polls on this issue are different, with local Venezuelan poll leaning toward the opposition. But Washington is taking an pessimistic look at the situation and has a poll that shows support for Chavez. It will be interesting to see what happens Sunday night and Monday morning. . .
