Latin Pulse 12/14/12

Latin Pulse this week takes a close look at politics and elections in Ecuador, with presidential elections coming in that South American country in February of 2013. Ecuador's President Rafael Correa is far ahead in most polls, but does he face any real political or policy challenges? The program attempts to answer that question while also looking at Correa's inconsistent record regarding free speech. Both the news segment of the program and a commentary focus on the renewed health concerns regarding President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.
