More drama ahead in Venezuela's long-running political soap opera: after nearly nine years in office, radical leftist President Hugo Chavez is facing his strongest opposition in years and possibly his first-ever electoral defeat. Already, tens of thousands of students have hit the streets to protest the president's policies, and together with former Chavez allies like Raul Baduel -- the general who helped restore Chavez to power after a 2002 coup attempt -- they are reshaping the political landscape. Venezuelans who once would have made excuses for the president are now criticizing him directly. Polls show voters are likely to reject a sweeping constitutional reform that would remove presidential term limits.
