So just to be clear, in a race Putin v. Medvedev v. all other candidates, everyone would still choose the minor candidates?  Interesting; I know little about Russian politics, but what about a strictly Putin vs. Medvedev race?

[Pingvin]

They won't run aganist each other. They are from the one St. Petesburg team. Most of Russian officials and federal ministers worked with Vlad for 10-20 years before the work in Moscow

Well yeah because Medvedev is a puppet and would get a rearranged face if he tried, but I'm saying putting realism in a closet for the time being, who would you prefer?  Who do you like better?  If I'm not mistaken, you live in RU don't you?

Yup. I'm going to say - there is no difference between them.

Did you vote for Emperor Putin?

NO. I always support opposition candidates. To be honest, if there was a Putin vs. Zyuganov (commie leader) run-off, I'd vote Zyuganov.

Sorta like me ditching Paul for Mitt.  It feels wrong, but he's not as bad as the alternative

[LastVoter]

Probably straight ticket Communist since 1991, Yeltsin in 1991. In a Putin vs Medvedev matchup I would vote Medvedev simply because he isn't a moralfag like Putin.

[IceAgeComing]

If you're dedicated enough to vote only for Yabloko before 2011 you'd have voted for them in 2011 especially considering that A Just Russia is a manufactured party supported by the Kremlin to get left-wing voters to not vote for the Communists or the Democratic parties.
