Earlier this morning I wrapped up a brief interview w/ VOA that is scheduled to appear today at 5pm EST on its television broadcast show “El Mundo al Día.” They called me in to comment on Evo’s visit to the US, the new draft constitution, and US-Bolivia relations in general. The feed will only be on their website until 5pm EST tomorrow.
Basically, these were my comments: The new draft constitution (that includes regional autonomy) is a good compromise; any new constitution must be viewed as legitimate by all major parties; Evo is not Chávez; and an Obama administration does have potential for positive developments, but Bolivia rates low in priorities.

Addendum: It looks like they didn’t use my comments, which is probably for the best (and as a former journalist & assistant copy editor, I know how these things work). But after spending 2+ hours in a car & a $100 parking ticket, it’s kind of a bummer.
Send them the parking ticket??? Maybe they pay for it - or cover parts of the expenses. (Never fails to try).
I tried; it seems they can't/won't do it.
