Presidential election: More of the same


 Bloomberg has an article  on the presidential election, with Yushchenko once again sounding the alarm over the election. 


Yushchenko yesterday said the election would be “a national referendum about Ukraine’s European future.” Speaking to reporters in Kiev, he said his policies were “simple and clear: Let’s go home, to Europe.”

No, its not a referendum on Europe. Its a vote to remove an unpopular president with the least worse candidate available. 





WSJ also weighs in on presidential election, unfortunately I don't agree that voters will "weigh in on the Orange Revolution". I don't think voters reject the outcome of the protests, they are rejecting Yushchenko.  Unfortunately, I think the loser in 2005, Yanukovych, may see it as rejection of democracy.
