Chavez pushes referendum to extend term limits and socialist shift
President Hugo Chavez argues victory in the referendum to abolish presidential term limits is essential to completing his Bolivarian socialist transformation of Venezuela. Opponents warn of unchecked power as oil revenue slips from $147 to about $38 a barrel, threatening public spending and Chavez's popularity. International observers are monitoring the vote amid questions of potential fraud.
