This is the FIRST time that he ever loses an election, and my theory is that he lost on purpose. He is just reassuring the opposition (ppl like me who's against the dictatorship that he's imposing) that we still live in a Democracy and that he will accept democratic results.

I told my wife yesterday "It wouldn't surprise me if that wacko actually allows us to win this time just to reassure the country and the whole World that Venezuela is still under a "Democracy""

Chavez told reporters at the presidential palace that the outcome of Sunday's balloting had taught him that "Venezuelan democracy is maturing." His respect for the verdict, he asserted, proves he is a true democratic leader.
BS !!!

Chavez loses constitutional vote - Yahoo! News

It's been proven before that he has control over the voting machines, I call BS on the whole thing.
