Don't cry, Chavez; you can't always get Yes for an asnwer. It's still a democracy, right?

The votes are in favor of No for the constitutional reform, but it's very close, perhaps too close: 51% to 49% to be exact. Chavez may have to step down in 2012, but I bet he has some dirty tricks under his sleeves left. We'll see what happens next year.
