Venezuelans see to hate Chavez or love him, but so far, the ones who love him still outnumber those who don't. Here in Miami TV this election was promoted as the one in which Chavez would get his comeuppance, but that does not seem to be what happened.
Prior to Chavez, the upper middle class got nearly all of the oil money and the imports. Now Chavez is spreading the money around more. I suppose he will lose popularity when oil revenues go down, and if he does not manage to get Venezuelans to grow more of their own food, but so far, he seems to be baffling his enemies here in the US.
