11/29 Powell's refusal to recognize the contested election result in Ukraine
is true proof that irony is not dead.
\_ 2000 U.S. election hijinks != Ukraine hijinks
\_ Exit polls that don't match the final tally... hmm... where
have we heard that?
\_ EARLY exit polls in the US vs total exit polls in the Ukraine?
\_ And even if they were equivalent, what the hell did Powell
have to do with Florida?
\_ I haven't been following this story too closely, but why does it
matter what powell thinks? Will what he thinks become the
official US stand on this election issue?
\_ I believe the official US stand is the same as the Europeans: that
new elections are needed.
\_ Huh? No one else other than the Russian ruling elite and also
the Russia's vassal states among the ex-Soviet republics has
recognized the election results as legitimate. Even Putin now
wishes he didn't said what he said right after the election. |
