Venezuela’s Capriles Closes Caracas Campaign as Thousands March

Venezuela's Capriles Closes Caracas Campaign as Thousands March
Venezuelan opposition candidate Henrique Capriles Radonski symbolically closed his Caracas campaign against President Hugo Chavez yesterday with a march attended by thousands of supporters.

Capriles, dressed in a shirt styled with the three colors of Venezuela’s flag, promised to confront growing violence in the South American country and asked undecided voters if they were happy with their lives today.

This government gives away resources to every other country,” Capriles said. “There is no gauze in hospitals here, but they give money away to sponsor samba dancing at the carnival in Rio.”

...

This has to be one of the largest marches in the history of Caracas,” Capriles said yesterday.

The marches were similar in numbers but watch how Chavez' numbers are praised and cheered while VTV deflected for Capriles' march.

And Capriles didn't even have to bus people in from other states.
