He's designated VP Nicolas Madero as his successor, but some analyses I've read suggest that opinion might not be unanimous within ChavezWorld. Which if true is probably why Chavez did it publicly: tell everyone to shut up and get behind Madero, who'd just be a different face in policy terms.

The answer's right in that quote: he's just a different face on Chavismo. Big advocate of closer ties with Iran/Russia/Syria, used to be foreign minister. He probably doesn't have Chavez's charisma or political skills though.

At least Capriles kept his job... was this a sympathy wave for Chavez or something bigger?
