So, this is what happens in developing democracies when elections are stolen. The people rise up, and justice eventually prevails. Bloomberg is reporting that Yushchenko won by a pretty good margin....a mandate margin even.
Viktor Yushchenko claimed victory today in the rerun of Ukraine's presidential election, pledging to end ``criminal power'' in the former Soviet state. Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych vowed to appeal the vote count.
Yushchenko took 52 percent to Yanukovych's 44 percent, the Central Election Committee said, with 99.9 percent of votes counted. Yanukovych said he would ``never recognize'' the results, while European observers said the election was fair.
