The Kremlin has not given any indication of whether Putin would accept the invitation to head the party. A Kremlin spokesman last week declined to comment on rumors Putin could become United Russia leader.

Putin, a 55-year-old former KGB spy, is stepping down in line with a constitutional term limit. He endorsed Medvedev as his replacement, helping the 42-year-old former lawyer to an easy victory in last month's presidential election.

Well this is a sneaky way to ensure that Putin remains in control within the legality of Russia. I wonder if we will see something similar later on this year when Bush has to depart for the same reason (not that he would win another election anyway).

The powers that be are finding ways to keep their public faces in power. The blocks are sliding into place for the NWO.
