Interesting. The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (that is a think-tank of our german conservative party and tends to be more supportive for opposition to Chavez/PSUV) has analyzed the current situation in Venezuela. They say Maduro first spoke about recount, then Capriles joined into this demand. They say, that the institutions of control, including a manual recount that is normal for more than 50% of votes anyway make a systematic fraud big enough to change the result unlikely. They say, the main reason for Capriles to attack the result of the election is to weaken the government of Maduro from the beginning.

Anyway, I'm personally not so positive about this. As Capriles joined the coup in 2002 I think he is willing to use violence to get to the power.
Don't get me wrong. I don't think Maduro is the right man for Venezuela, he is as bad as Capriles. Venezuela will face tough times in the future, regardless which side will be in control.
