Looks like Yush is really not serious about it returning to politics.. He's wants to get elected and to keep the state owned dacha. He keeps being questioned about it by journalists and keeps answering that Kravhuck and Kuchma got to keep theirs. But they never ran on the "I'm different, have western values ticket" and they've not running anymore for office so they can do what they like. And Yanuk has a royal castle but his voters don't care. Yush's potential voters, the few that there might still be do. .So, what's more important the house or the polticial carreer. Obivously the former. And if he isn't serious I don't understand how come his team mates don't tell him to get out the dacha. They're just going to sink with him way under the 5% needed..

At the very best Yushchenko and his discredited entourage might win a handful of seats in single member constituencies. Even if they win a few seats in the VR most if not all of the other members from other Parties will just ignore him. The only thing that this "poor" man has left is his ego.

Spot on! If I can paraphrase a joke about Maradona, if Yush were to climb up his ego, he ought to be careful or he might fall off and plummet to his death.

He is foolish, he too will end up in prison, mark my word his past is not forgotten by Regionnaires . He was no more poisoned than the man on the moon. Vodka and botox do not mix.
