Well the media here is playing this as a defeat for Chavez "for life". 
But he has another 4 years, right? Not that the revolution should be 
"Chavez or nothing" but this hardly means he won't get to run again, I 
think. But, perhaps this could force Bolivarianism to gain a strength 
previous revolutions have lacked?
