Kerry takes a good position

Kerry , surprisingly, (to us and Chavez) comes out against him on the referendum question (from Kerry's web site):
"Kerry Statement on Venezuela
Throughout his time in office, President Chavez has repeatedly undermined democratic institutions by using extra-legal means, including politically motivated incarcerations, to consolidate power. In fact, his close relationship with Fidel Castro has raised serious questions about his commitment to leading a truly democratic government. "
Apparently, the Venezuelans are in shock over this, as Chavez has been touting Kerry as his bud.

I had dinner with a friend last night who (illegally) went to Cuba last October. He said that there were more Chavez posters in Havana than Castro posters. I'm hopeful that the referrendum can move forward. They have until August to get the signatures, right? My understanding is that they had several million, but a court struck most of them down as "invalid" for obscure reasons.
