Not history

These are just a couple of lopsided opinion articles speculating on a possible future outcome of the referendum, I don't think they add much value to the article:

According to the Chicago Tribune, with the price of Venezuelan oil down from $126 in July 2008 to $40; corruption, crime and poverty up; and "personal and economic freedoms ... eroded"; Venezuelans are "thinking twice about a long-term relationship with Chavez".[1] According to the Los Angeles Times, the impact of a global recession "could force Chavez to cut back on many of his welfare and foreign aid projects, which would reduce his popularity"; Chávez may be holding the referendum before the impact of the recession is felt.[2]
