What will Chávez do now? The loss should prod him to focus on the problems of his nation that need fixing before he leaves office in 2013 instead of on his incessant, globetrotting socialist and anti-U.S. crusades. That way, Chávez stands a chance of leaving a record as the man who finally set Venezuela and Latin America on a real course toward solving terrible inequality and not as just another overweening Latin leftist who stayed too long. Chávez insisted to TIME last year that "capitalism is the way of the devil." But while Ch?...
...well by rebuffing the constitutional amendments that sought to expand and extend his already ample political power.

If so, he stands a better chance of leaving a solid legacy as the revolutionary who finally set Venezuela and Latin America on a real course to solve the worst inequality of any region...

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's left-wing, oil-fueled revolution usually carries itself like a swaggering, cocksure juggernaut. So it was a sign that things perhaps weren't looking good for the fiery, anti-U.S. leader Sunday night when he didn't appear on the balcony of Miraflores, the Caracas presidential palace, pumping his fists and crowing confidently about victory. Venezuela's polls had closed in a national referendum on a raft of constitutional reforms that would have profoundly tightened his hold on political power in Venezuela - including an amendment to eliminate presidential term limits (which currently last...
