Manuel Rosales is running for president too!

A quick update for tonight.

Today the governor of Zulia, Manuel Rosales, announced that he will be running for president. So there you have it, Borges, Teodoro, and Rosales are running for president, just as was predicted. In addition, as some of us bloggers including myself suggested primaries may very likely be held by the NGO, Sumate. As I may have mentioned in an earlier post or in some of my comments in other blogs, Rosales made a very smart and mature call to the other candidates:

"Tiene que existir ese pacto de caballeros, no sólo con los que hemos mencionado (Teodoro Petkoff y Julio Borges) sino que hay que darle participación a William Ojeda y Roberto Smith y a quien aspire".

"There has to be a gentleman's pact, not just between the mentioned (Teodoro, and Borges), we have to include William Ojeda and Roberto Smith and others that aspire".

So far I like what these candidates are doing and saying, I think we finally have some very mature and smart leaders in the opposition. However, what is of the essence is that the candidates get together and come to an agreement of how they are going to tackle the primaries, Chavez, and a plan for Venezuela. Time will tell if the opposition can continue this positive momentum at the expense of the increasing implosion, and here, of Chavismo.
