KIEV, Ukraine - Opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko on Monday celebrated his apparently decisive triumph in the re-run of Ukraine’s presidential election, thanking the protesters who spent weeks camped out in the capital’s frigid streets for securing his electoral victory and the nation’s freedom.


Ukrainians.   That news story strikes me as real democracy, hard-earned by the people.    Thomas Jefferson would be proud of you, I think.

Soon Boroda will be here to tell us all how the Evil EU, in concert with the even more EVIL Amreekans, aided and abetted by the Polish Government cheated the Ukraninan people out of their rightful leader.

Despite this, of course:

Yushchenko wins Ukraine election

Sunday's re-run was monitored by 12,000 international observers.

RESULTS SO FAR

Yushchenko: 52.3%
Yanukovych: 43.9%

Turnout: 77%

Source: Ukraine Central Election Commission, with 98% of votes counted


"The Ukrainian elections have moved substantially closer to meet OSCE standards," said Bruce George, the head of an Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) monitoring mission

I hope this story turns out and it doesn't get burried in more bull&^%$.  This should go down in history as one of the greatest achievments of democracy and would make a damn fine movie too.....:D

Jokes aside, Ukraine, the people have spoken....  Job well done.

I guess the younger kids won't understand, but us cold war vets will...

Hard to get too excited about yet another politician.  But at least the side doing the poisoning and massive election fraud lost.

With the endless possibilities on how to kill someone, why poison them? Especially  if the poison is traceable? Cause what does that give you? Makes no sense to me..

Real democracy? LOL! :)

Reminds me of the cold-war times, when the meaning of "democracy" was abolutely opposite when used by Red and Blue sides.

Now it's the same - candidate, fed by the West (and Western powers admit it) "wins" on a fraud "elections" - and it's a "victory of democracy". 15 millions of working-class "trash" and "gangsters" are not supposed to have a right to elect.

What we have got in Ukraine is a "victory" of one gang of crooks over another. And if you think I'll cheer pro-Western anti-Russian crooks - you're mistaken.

It would only be a sham if they had Democrats and the Democrats lost. Otherwise, it's a fair election if the Democrats win.

Well, at least that's how it works here.  ;)

"Working class trash" are not supposed to have a right to elect? Am I understanding you properly?

Welcome to the two party system!

I was most impressed by the determination of the people who camped out in frigid temperatures to force the runoff, and the high percentage of voters that turned out.

Commiserations if it was your candidate who lost.

Keep hallucinating. Still need to clean your pants when you see Hammer and Sickle? :D Bolshevik stormtroopers my ass! :D Another American telling me about "communist brand of law and order"...

Now - to sane part of community. Already at least one political assassination in Ukraine, Minister of Transport, chief of Presidental Administration already on the run, there are serious rumours about assassination of at least two more politicians, Tigipko, a National Bank director and Ya's electoral HQ chief.

Looks like tangerins already start a post-revolution slaughter.
