You think he's going to be PM for a full term? IIUC, under the Russian constitution, the PM takes over the President resigns - thats how Putin originally succeeded Yeltsin (who had appointed him, everyone forgets). As long as the new Prez is Prez for even one day, Putin hasnt succeeded himself. Heh. I haven't thought of that.

I don't think it will really be a day though. He'll do a year or maybe two, to make it slightly less blatant.
