#1 If he rigged 12 points, he'd be a winner, but he thought 10 points would be enough.

#2 It's better thant the EUSSR though.

We have a "socialist revolution" i.e. beurocrat coup, and we don't get a vote.

#3 Does this mean we have to tell the Marine Expeditionary Force to stand down?

The jarheads get edgy when they haven't overthrown two regimes before breakfast.

#4 I'm sure by the time "all the votes are counted" Chavez will have won. Or, he'll just do it all over again and make sure a former American President is there to observe.

#5 I wanted to drive by Citgo headquarters and jeer, but Niles hid the car keys.

#6 Considering he only got about 30% of the total vote (40% didn't vote at all, leaving roughly 30% voting NO and 28% voting SI) he is lucky to get as close as he did. The real "traitor" is the person who didn't vote at all.

#7 No problemo. He will just schedule another vote.

#8 He will either redo the vote, or find enough "votes" to make it stick.

#9 It gives me some considerable satisfaction that al-Gor must hear this news and wince. All his fake awards will never add up to the presidency he tried to steal. I hope it sits in his gut like a stone.

#10 Constitutional changes should require a supermajority.

#11 Since they have always been at war with Eastasia, he'll probably declare an emergency.

Weirdly... isn't that the same thing the nuts say about George Bush?
