Do you have a link where it says the Ukrainian Catholic Church backs Yuschenko? I'd be really shocked because he is the pro-abortion, and pro-sodomy candidate.
Yanukovich said he's going to commit to the War on Terror. He's keeping the troops in Iraq, unlike his opponent. He has the rural support, which in my opinion is better than the urban, look at who wins the US similar areas. There are a lot of God fearing good people even in the cities, but as a percentage of a local population, its more likely they're rural. I'm saying this as a city dweller, as a percentage of the population in an area, there is likely to be a higher percentage of the population of good people in rural areas. Numbers wise the city may have more, but they're outnumbered by those secularists who want death on demand and sodomy for all. Yanukovich is much more conservative socially. And did I mention, he's for keeping their troops there, so 1600 more of ours are able to go elsewhere?
where have you heard that? imho, the race there is alot more basic then any of these specific issues. the election is about freedom from russia and communism.
