Feeling Blue?


The title fight is set.

Viktor Yanukovich (35.4%) and Yulia Tymoshenko (24.9%) placed first and second in Ukraine’s initial round of voting. Alas, voters sharply rebuked President Yushchenko, fallen hero of the Orange Revolution.

Adding insult to injury, Intrade Prediction Markets say the man who tried to steal the last presidental election from Yushenko will almost certainly take his job.

So I was just reading the New York Times article. I didn't realize Viktor "What Would Putin Do" Yanukovych used an American consultant to soften his image for this election. Interesting, no?

So here's my question, what would happen if America and Russia truly, just stayed out of it?

Half of the consultants from the Obama/McCain election went to work in Ukraine.
