Supporters of presidential candidate Hugo Chavez yell out against presidential candidate Henrique Salas during his cavalcade of hundreds of horses through the streets of central Caracas November 29. With just one week to go, Venezuela's presidential election became a tight two-man race when center-left Democratic Action (AD) dumped its standard bearer, 77-year-old party stalwart Luis Alfaro, in favor of Salas November 28, arguing that the choice in the December 6 vote would be between "democracy and dictatorship".
