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. |
