Funny, they didn't have an election in that area....gads do you mean to tell me this governor was appointed? Why that's just like what Putin is doing in Russia...well no, Putin's candidates still have to pass election in the local Oblast (state) parliment, Yushchenko is just appointing as he goes. But thank God he's not dictatorial about it. /sarcasm
Much rather have Yushchenko where necessary 'appoint' at least until the time the KGB moles are removed from the power blocks.
