Chavez Mini-Me Loses Ground

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Che(161)¡vez ally loses ground in Ecuador poll

An ally of Hugo Che(161)¡vez, the leftwing nationalist Venezuelan president, has fallen further behind a market-friendly banana magnate in the race to become Ecuador™s next president, according to a leading opinion poll released on Wednesday

The survey by Cedatos, a Quito-based pollster, showed Alvaro Noboa, Ecuador™s richest man, with 47 per cent support compared to 34 per cent for Rafael Correa, a radical former finance minister who vows to curb US influence and confront business interests.

Mr Noboa pulled a surprise in the first round this month, topping the race with a 4-point margin over Mr Correa, who had been widely perceived as the frontrunner. The two now head to a second round run-off on November 26.

Polibio Ce(179)³rdova of Cedatos, a Quito-based pollster, told the FT that the new survey could give the businessman an even greater lead. œThe gap appears to be growing, said Mr Ce(179)³rdova. œOur focus groups suggest voters have more confidence in Mr Noboa.

The poll is likely to ease the concerns of foreign investors and of Washington, which views with alarm Mr Correa™s closeness to Mr Che(161)¡vez, the cheerleader for anti-Americanism in the region. Ecuador is South America™s second biggest exporter of crude oil to the US and hosts the only US military base in the region.

Victory for Mr Correa would add an oil-rich country to an anti-US alliance in the region that already includes Venezuela, Latin America™s top oil and gas producer, and Bolivia, which has the second largest gas reserves in the region.

Mr Correa promises to shut down the US base and to shelve permanently talks with Washington on a bilateral trade treaty. He has also hinted he might default on debt payments and pledges to impose higher taxes on foreign investors in the oil industry such as Repsol of Spain, Brazil™s Petrobras, Andes Petroleum of China and Perenco of France.

Mr Noboa says he would cut political ties to Cuba and Venezuela if elected, but has largely spurned a debate of ideas, instead basing his campaign on populist pledges to create at least 1m jobs, build 1.2m houses and help small business.

The billionaire is famous for handing out bags of rice, wheelchairs and computers on the campaign trail. œHe™s showing he can make an immediate difference to people™s everyday lives, said Colin Harding, a UK-based Ecuador analyst. œIt™s an effective way of saying: (152)˜I™m rich, you™re poor and I can help you™.

Speaking to the FT from Quito, Patrick Esteruelas of Eurasia Group, a US consultancy, said that in contrast to the campaign in the first round, in which Mr Correa often set the terms of the debate, the leftwinger now appeared to be mimicking his conservative opponent.

œNoboa has understood that this race is not about conflicting ideologies but tangible benefits, such as job-creation and continued economic stability, said Mr Esteruelas. œThat has forced Correa to repackage himself, concentrating on Noboa-type proposals such as promising to build more housing and expand micro-credit programmes.
