At the UN, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called George Bush "the devil." He's reached out to Fidel Castro and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. On Sunday, voters may given him new powers and extend his influence for a long time to come. We hear what that could mean for his country, the region and the interests of the United States.
