Capriles cruises to victory in Venezuela's Primary Election

State Governor Henrique Capriles has garnered 62% of the vote in the primary elections for the Venezuelan Presidency and is set to run against Hugo Chavez. He's appealing to the voters across a wide range and is currently running as a follower of the left-center philosophy. Regardless of who won the primary, all the candidates have stated that they will support whoever wins the primary, meaning that Chavez is going to possibly have a tough race on his hands if the people can get behind Capriles. Constituents are saying that Chavez, who is running for his fourth term, says that he will fix the problems that have been around since his first term, and that if the candidates want to stand any chance of defeating him, they have to be united.
