Chavez eyes reelection
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez launched a new campaign on Monday to change Venezuela's constitution so he can stay in power for as long as he keeps winning elections, almost exactly a year after voters rejected the proposal.
The anti-US socialist leader said he wanted to move quickly to revive the constitutional reforms. He said the amendment should be "ready" in February but did not say when it would be voted on.
