The Florida of 2004 wasn't Ohio, it's the Ukraine

Ukraine May Revolt

A few weeks ago I would have bet money that we would be embroiled in multiple lawsuits over our own presidential election. It appears that I was wrong, although there are still people questioning the voting in Florida and Ohio. Some academic sociologists in California have proven statistically that Bush stole over 130,000 votes in Florida, or maybe it was over 260,000 - but they say they can't be sure which.

Now it appears the real post presidential election action this year is in Ukraine. There is a chance their supreme court will set aside the election. There may be a parliamentary move to do so. Several city councils have recognized Yushchenko as the winner and the council of Kiev the capital city has rejected the announced election results. There are crowds in the streets and talk of a general strike if Vladimir Putin's hand-picked candidate takes office. The Bush administration is being uncharacteristically firm on behalf of the Ukrainians of Ukraine who want an end to rule by Russians whether in the Kremlin or the eastern Ukraine. The OSCE and other observers have found evidence of massive fraud.

Prediction: Putin will get his stooge in office somehow.
