PRO: He was elected! In an election! How could that be bad?
CON: The freeness and fairness of said election has been disputed by international monitors. And Medvedev's first act, upon receiving Putin's endorsement, was to endorse Putin for Prime Minister more or less ensuring that the real power in Russia will now reside in the PM's office.
