For those who missed it, I liveblogged Maduro's amazing concession speech/rant/rambling speech (best thing I ever watched in my life). Basically, this is a 'temporary setback' actually very similar to a setback the beloved Libertador Bolívar suffered in the 19th century, and this is not an opposition victory but rather a temporary counter-revolutionary victory due to the economic war, parasitical bourgeoisie, neoliberalism, shadowy powers and everything. But the Bolivarian Revolution will be reborn stronger than ever. He also mentioned Brazil in 1974, the martyr Salvador Allende, Jacobo Arbenz, Guatemala, the 'absolutely perfect' electoral system, the glorious Constitution, how the electoral system is undoubtedly the most marvellous aspect of the 17 years of revolution, Bolivar, the 1819 foundation of Gran Colombia, the 2004 recall, the 2006 presidential election, asking an audience member a question about Bolívar (to no answer!) and tons of other good stuff. Concluded with a CHAVEZ QUOTE which got a standing ovation.
