It has all the elements of a planned coup. Desperation appears to be driving policy. Opposition lawmaker Julio Borges' email was made public. He said "the majority of people are with (Chavez), and this is something that can't be denied."
Borges is National Coordinator for Capriles' Primero Justicia (PJ) party. He admitted defeat. It's baked in the cake and certain.
