Sarah Mendelson, a senior fellow with the CSIS Russia and Eurasia Program, was quoted by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, "Medvedev Cruises to Russian Presidency."
"I wouldn't call it an election. It's really important not to use that word,” said Sarah Mendelson, a Russian-area expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. “An election implies a competitive process that is transparent to the voter. That's not what this is."
