"do it again " says ukraine supreme court ...what would clarence say...this time?

thousands in kiev errupted into dancing and roaring cheers punctuated with fireworks and car horns when the ukranian supreme court called for new elections to take place december 26 .

after more than ten days of filling the streets and physically blocking government offices in what they called the "orange revolution" , supporters of presidential candidate viktor yushchenko had won a key battle in their demands that the vote of 2 weeks ago be thrown out because of massive vote fraud .

foreign observers of the election , including us senator richard lugar had said repeatedly that the ukranian elections were a sham stolen by prime minister viktor yanukovych --the hand picked sucessor of the incumbent president leonid kuchma .

kuchma, despite his original support for yanukovych , with his call for a new election , finally bowed to the will of the huge colorful demonstrations of crowds who for days had braved the subfreezing cold and snow to occupy the streets of the capital to block access to government offices .

the ukrainian supreme court's endorsement of the call for a new election was greeted as a victory by jubilant orange cloth draped crowds who had filled the kiev streets .

yushchenko quickly addressed his supporters and also demanded the resignation of the ukrainian board of elections which had certified the nov 21 "victory" of yanukovych in a contest now viewed by many in the world as fradulent.

**With the growing controversy and mounting evidence concerning the fraudlent nov 2 elections here in the usa --elections that the right wingnuts fought vehemently to keep international observers away from btw--- the question must again be asked, "WHAT'S WRONG WITH US OVER HERE?"

to this blogger's knowledge with the exception of jesse jackson , no other major democratic party figure has called for the ohio results to be overturned ...though jackson mentioned recently while addressing a meeting of citizens in that state that john kerry is in favor of an investigation into numerous charges voter fraud in the contested area .

Jackson also mentioned a newly unearthed irregularity in the ohio election ...a poorly funded african-american female running at the "bottom" of the democratic ticket for ohio state supreme court apparently received significantly more votes in many precincts accross the state , including in republican areas, than the "top" of the ticket --democratic presidential candidate john kerry .

political analysts point out that , though by itself not hard evidence of foul play , it is one more very highly unusually puzzling event in this collection of highly unusually puzzling events highlighting this 2004 election .

a party's local candidate whose name is physically located last-- at the "bottom" of the voting booth ticket receiving 200,000 more votes statewide than the party's national presidential candidate whose name is always located first--at the "top" of the list of names in the voting booth , is not impossible .

...But according to experts , it is highly improbable , and a possible rough gauge of how many votes were fraudlently changed by vote thieves.

according to political analysts it looks to their eyes as if the vote thieves only changed , or nullified presidential votes , but neglected to also change a similar number of votes for the democratic candidate running for state office whose name appeared last , at the "bottom" of the ticket .

For the candidate at the bottom of the party's ticket-- running for only a state office --to get more votes in a presidential election than the candidate on the same ticket running for the office of the national presidency , in ohio politics--- reportedly is unheard of .
