Venezuelan referendum

No more time for expulsions of diplomats or foreign politicians, or coup rumors, or empire taunting, or lots of one-sided news coverage (either one way or the other), or fear-inspiring ads, or more polls (which are tight). In fact, there wasn't even time for Valentine's Day. Now it's just time to vote.

No more time for expulsions of diplomats or foreign politicians, or coup rumors, or empire taunting, or lots of one-sided news coverage (either one way or the other), or fear-inspiring ads, or more polls (which are tight).

Ah, yes, polls. Less than two months ago, when Greg cited a very lopsided and dubious opposition poll that favored the opposition by 30 points (!), Greg wrote the following:

If I see other polls, I will cite them--I haven't seen anything else. I think the key question is whether Chávez's personal popularity translates into support for indefinite election. There is not an automatic correlation.

Of course, when the new polls came in and began slightly favoring Chavez, Greg's promised citations were conspicuously absent from his blog. Imagine that.
