VOICED: Chavez pide 'victoria aplastante'

With less than a month to Venezuela's elections, President Hugo Chávez rallied his supporters for a decisive victory. At a campaign event in Miranda, previously governed by his rival Enrique Capriles, Chávez warned that Capriles' leadership would endanger social programs. Despite battling cancer, Chávez remained determined to seek a third term. The elections are set for October 7, with Chávez leading in most polls, though the opposition is closing the gap.
