STOP DON"T RUN! The calls not to run increase as Putin lunches his official Presidential website.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin launched the website for his presidential campaign Thursday, only to see it flooded with comments from detractors demanding he not run. The negative responses, which were followed by a freezing of the site that saw many of those critical comments vanish, illustrated the growing sense of discontent with Putin, whose centralized, top-down rule already has faced historic street protests in recent weeks.
