So the concession speech--sorry, the resignation speech--is the final arbiter of democracy?

So the "Nanana I'm not listening" philosophy represents the pinnacle of Western thought--democracy?

Who believes this stuff but the left?

Well, that plus Bush actually got more votes in his elections. And, presumably, the court that ruled against Yanu the first time would do so again.

I think all Yanukavych needs to do is have his cronies on some court rule that he 'won' the election. What could Bush do? He set the precedent in Florida for all illegitimate presidents. He will have to live with it. The rest of us, however, can complain about Yanukovych just like we complained about Bush.
