He stated before running he'd only serve one term. I think it's damn near heroic to take that position on being a politician, and I wish Bush had done it when he was governor. One term representing your home, then retire.
That's an interesting story. After hearing Kasperov speak on Bill Maher this week, I feel like I've neglected Russian politics as of late.
