I think this is good news but I'm pretty confused myself.
I personally think this is mixed news. From what I've seen, the elections were probably rigged and this man is the proper leader. But it does overturn election results because the results were different from the exit polls. The left wing conspiratorial nuts in this country are just as convinced that Kerry won this election as ethnic Ukrainians are that their man won their election. With world-wide demonstrations that the elections be overturned (there should be verification IMO that it was rigged), what's to stop citizens of the world from doing the same thing when the next conservative Republican is elected here? This could be a vision of things to come here. The fact that this election really did seem to be rigged and we are actually improving our elections to make that much more difficult will be a lost distinction to many.
