has seized on the red, yellow and blue cap a contrast to the red beret preferred by Chavez, a former paratrooper to emphasize his message of reconciliation and inclusiveness in a country he says is tired of confrontation after almost 14 years of "Bolivarian revolution."
"I dont care about [the color of] the shirt you want to wear, what I care about is progress," Capriles roared at a campaign rally this week, to cheers from supporters waving flags of all colors.
The business-friendly law graduate, who admires Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi, has a little more than a week left before presidential elections on Oct. 7 to persuade Venezuelans that Chavezs government has squandered an oil boom, with little to show for it but unfulfilled promises.
