Backed by a series of authoritative-seeming dummy web sites, from a political blog to the Harding Institute itself (whose only real address was its virtual one), Eisenstadt pontificated on everything from the Jonas Brothers’ alleged terrorist sympathies to Sarah Palin’s geography woes. After finally being revealed post-election as a hoax and a scam artist, Eisenstadt returns, this time in book form, to tell his side of the story, writing in his foreword: “Trust me. I exist...

And sadly, the two contenders facing off in the final round of voting offer little fresh cause for hope. In the conservative corner is dour former mechanic and factory boss Viktor Yanukovych, 59, whose disputed victory in the 2004 poll sparked massive protests and a fresh vote. In the opposite corner...
