Rationality, for the time being, has been gladly tossed aside. If you’re like me, I’m happy to know we’re mostly on the same page.</p> <p>During last year’s Primaries, I worked for a candidate <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130313042343/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar%C3%ADa_Corina_Machado">other than Capriles</a>. So it took some ego-checking and some willfull flexing of the whole “we´re-supposed-to-favor-the-common-good-for-the-sake-of-unity” muscle to get me fully on board the <em>Autobus del Progreso.</em> But eventually, it happened.</p> <p>Last year, when I <i>last</i> went crazy, I went through the requisite steps: I bought the hat, I signed up to volunteer, I actually, truly, genuinely imagined the unprecedented possibility that Capriles might win.</p> <p>Every time I stopped to question his electoral message, when I did not hear from him what I wanted to, I inevitably got the same answer: <i>“tú no eres el target.”</i></p> <p>True enough. <i>Yo no soy el target.</i></p> <p><i> <a

Razor sharp, informed, witty, scholarly, irreverent and above all intelligent; an invaluable map for a poorly charted land. It's no fan of the Bolivarian revolution, and doesn't claim to be impartial, but avoids the foaming partisanship which infects so much debate about the topic. You come to it for analysis and the writing ends up hooking you into unexpected journeys through the revolution's surreal labyrinths. For anyone curious about Venezuela it's a must-read blog. And now it's a must-read book.”<br><br> - Rory Carroll, author of <i><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130313042343/http://www.rorycarroll.co.uk/#!about-me/c1ktj">Comandante: Hugo Chavez's Venezuela</a></i>, and The Guardian's former Latin America bureau chief. </div> </li><li id="recent-comments-2" class="widget-container widget_recent_comments"><h3 class="widget-title">Recent Comments</h3> <table class="recentcommentsavatar" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> <tr><td title="Emiliana Duarte" class="recentcommentsavatartop" style="height:48px; width:48px;"><img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130313042343im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/6d13d1391f2f330efc55b5004e26aa9f?s=48&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D48&r=PG" class="avatar avatar-48" height="48" width="48"/></td><td class="recentcommentstexttop" style="">Emiliana Duarte on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130313042343/http://caracaschronicles.com/2013/03/11/here-we-go-again/#comment-74441">Disappointment?
