The above video is of Manuel Rosales’ closing march in Caracas, in 2006. It was a memorable, heavily-attended apotheosis of people.

A few days later, Rosales lost the election by twenty-six points.

Look, we all love a march, and today’s was a beauty: full of enthusiasm, and with a great speech from Henrique.

But let’s not get carried away.

Let’s keep our eye on the prize and our feet on the ground.
