Comments on That Other Presidential Election

The opposition party should run Deep Blue against him. Kasparov will get pissed off after he's beaten and demand a rematch.

Gary has as much chance as Kucinich. He is nothing more than a figure head of the fragmented Russian opposition. They will get 2% of the vote ( if theyre lucky) Putin is insanely popular in Russia and the Russian economy is starting to boom and the Mafia is behaving itself. Crime is down. Chechnya has been bombed into the stone age and Russians are happy and feel like theyre almost a world power once again. Russia is not into the kind of western European democracy that most of Europe is into. They want to be a power. They want a strong man and Putin represents that.
