Chesa Boudin and Pablo Navarrete respond ^[4] at length to the post ‘Rosales is coming up roses ^[5]‘ by Charles Tannock and Fernando Gerbasi, criticizing The Guardian for featuring it. Hands Off Venezuela has published a statement of solidarity ^[6] in support of the re-election of Hugo Chavez. And, finally, Tomas Sancio, of Baruta, Venezuela, compares ^[7] the 2003 California Recall, the 2004 Venezuela Recall and the 2006 December Presidential Elections.
