Ukraine Politics: Yush Wins (Maybe?)

Millions of Ukrainians came out to vote yesterday. With 99% of the votes counted, Yushchenko was up 52%-44%. Apparently the Ukrainians really want to head in a deomcratic direction and break off their ties with Russia. The only question is whether the corrupted government will allow it or not. The opposition vows to challenge the results, filing complaints to the Central Election Commission. Ukraine's voting issues makes Florida and Ohio look like nothing! If the government tries too hard to retain power, I smell the beginnings of a revolution.
