Kuchma, Yanukovich and co. are not very smart. They should've learn from Russia and promote someone young and charismatic as "Ukrainian Putin", may be someone like Andrey Derkach or Sergey Tigipko...someone not so easily assosiated with corruption of Kuchma's rule.
Nowdays its likely that Yanukovich will either loose or in case of his victory by small margin (either real or falsified) Yushenko, Tiomoshenko and co. will try to stage Georgian scenario and even in case of failure bring international condemnation and isolation of Ukraine.
With a fresh and popular face as presidential candidate Yushenko could've been easily defeated because he lacks deep-rooted support outside of West Ukraine and may be Kiev. However, Yanukovich is not the best choice to beat him...
