My entry and general post concept:

1st Place: Victor Yanukovych
2nd Place: Yulia Tymoshenko
3rd Place: Arseniy Yatsenyak

1st Tiebreaker: Yanukovych will recieve 30% of the general vote.

Discussion: None

Appears no one cares about the election. If it is no USA no interest.

1st Place: Yulia Tymoshenko
2nd Place: Victor Yanukovych
3rd Place: Victor Yushcenko

1st Tiebreaker: Yulia will recieve 22% of the general vote.

Discussion: I feel that the hard Yulia tries to buy the election the more she will fade in the pools. I don't think people relate to her now. If she wins she will slowly tear down Ukraine with bad capitalist moves vs government consolidation and efficency.

1st Place: Victor Yushcenko
2nd Place: Victor Yanukovych
3rd Place: Yulia Tymoshenko

I think Victor Yushenko and Victor Yanukovych will take a part in second round, and Yushenko wins.

1st Place: Victor Yanukovych 24-25%
2nd Place: Yulia Tymoshenko 18-20%
3rd Place: Victor Yushcenko 5%

Looks like I have won my own contest. I was the closest to first poll results.
I had the 1, 2 finisher correct with the 4th vote getter for 3rd.

I don't know what you others feel right now. But the feeling overseas is that Yushenko is completely done with politics for the center stage. Most likely he will hold a minor seat in parliment or start collection on his favours and make the cash.

Other feel that Tymoshenko is turning into a lady Putin. No one agrees with me but I like Putin, for reasons I will not say now. So I don't know what will happen in the run off but it should be very interesting.

I will hold another contest. Based on the Russian side of the forum. Predict the NFL Super Bowl winner.
I will try an convert a couple of Ukrainians to NFL football so I have someone to watch it with me in the future.
