#Videocrux - Ukraine votes in tense Presidential showdown Ukraine votes in tense Presidential showdown
Ukrainians were choosing between two sworn rivals in a tight presidential election run-off on Sunday after a bruising campaign that sparked warnings of a repeat of the 2004 Orange Revolution protests. The dour pro-Russia opposition leader Viktor Yanukovich has the edge on his more charismatic challenger, the pragmatic Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, after winning January's first-round poll by a 10 percent margin.
Yanukovich supporters swear by his promises
In 2004, tens of thousands of people protested against election results that had initially handed victory to Yanukovich, unleashing the Orange Revolution that swept pro-Western President Viktor Yushchenko to power.

Tymoshenko will be hoping to capitalize on her opponent's clumsy verbal gaffes in the campaign while the Yanukovich camp has sought to paint the prime minister as an over-excitable opportunist.
