Ortega won the election recently..and is again President.
But he's not backed by the power he had in the hey day..in fact it doesn't even matter. He wil fade away as time goes on. Its ike some former communists in the x-USSR and Eastern Europe.
He could I suppose try to do a chavez..but then he will face civil war and having to plead to Cuba and Venezuela for help. The communist dictatorship of the Sandinistas which he led was not popular contrary to all the wanna be communists.

Chavez is a fascist who speaks commie.so of course the Far Left loves him. The Far Left loves despotic dictatorships that sound communist..as long as they dontl live under them. I mean really these peopel cry more abotu theuir stupid fake Rigths ten anyone they bash Bush..yet they support a despotic fascist dictator....but then they support communist dictatorships..terroists..theocracies............w ell basically eveyrone and everything but the USA and Democracy.

Raol Castro will take over for Fidel...already has for all intents..hopefully after the initial shock of Fidels death there will be a coup or civil war.
One thing ..once Fidel finally dies the Far Left and wanna-be communists that anlt leave a democracy types wil all demand the embargo be lifted. Hell with that maintain it..strenghthenit..and aid anyone who wants to overthrow Raol.
