Wednesday, November 21
This was a day when the students chose to march. The opposition students marched, convening in Chacaito for a rally. There the student opposition leaders spoke charismatically and as they grew more impassioned, the crowd cheered even more. This kind of student involvement in an election is unprecedented in Venezuela I've been told.
That evening, red-clad Chavistas crowded the streets around the Miraflores Palace. On a stage, music groups performed for the students, keeping them entertained until about 7:30 or 8 when President Chavez appeared. His entrance was marked by cannons of red and silver confetti blasting into the air.
"This is a very special thing for us, this president," said one Chavez-supporter next to me in the press box. "There's a lot of emotions surrounding him."
