Morales easily wins recall vote

Bolivian President Evo Morales easily won a recall vote and vowed to push on with socialist reforms that his rightist opponents are trying to block.

Sunday's election pitted Morales against governors who have pushed for autonomy for their resource-rich provinces and are furious that he has cut their share of windfall natural gas revenues.

Morales, a former coca leaf farmer who is Bolivia's first indigenous leader, hopes his victory will allow him to forge ahead with changes like nationalizations, land redistribution and a constitution that aims to give more power to the poor.
