Chavez: Another vote possible on term limits

AP CARACAS, Venezuela – Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez says he might not take a "no" vote as the final word on his efforts to expand his time in office.

Chavez tells the CNN news network that if Venezuelans reject a proposal to lift term limits in a Feb. 15 referendum, his supporters could try again in the future.

Chavez says "there's no limit in the constitution regarding the number of times that an amendment can be attempted."

Opposition leaders disagree with the comments Chavez made Monday.

The socialist leader's opponents argue the constitution prohibits multiple votes on the same proposed amendments.
