The U.S. is for the PM Yushchenko even though he lost the vote, yet exit polls indicated that he won the vote: "The commission had already indicated a win for Mr Yanukovych, but exit poll results had put Mr Yushchenko ahead." So if Bush is pissed at this, and will not recognise Yanukovych as the legitimate winner, then Bush had better step down as President of the US.... because the exit polls in this country indicated that Kerry won!

There's another reason why Bush is backing the "pro-western" candidate... i have this theory... i am sure others have thought of it... but it came to me the other day in a moment of utter stonedness.
