   Russia's President and Prime Minister have unveiled a plan to switch jobs next year.


  Ending months of intense speculation 1, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin agreed Saturday that he would run for a third term as President next March.  Putin previously 2 served as Russian president from 2000 to 2008.  Given Kremlin control of the media and political parties, the 58-year-old leader is all but guaranteed to win again this time.
  Russia's Constitution has changed and now allows two six-year presidential terms, so a victory could open the doors to a Putin quarter century.  If he wins two presidential terms he would be in office until 2024.  In recent history, only Joseph Stalin ruled Russia for a similar span.
  Speaking at a United Russia party convention in Moscow, Prime Minister Putin nominated President Dmitry Medvedev to head the ruling party's list in parliamentary elections December 4.  Putin then said he expected that his protégé would serve as Russia Prime Minister.
  Analysts 3 long speculated that Medvedev was merely a "seat warmer" while Putin served as Prime Minister due to constitutional restrictions 4. Today, both men publicly said that, four years ago, at the beginning of Medvedev's presidency 5, they had made a job swap 6 deal.
  Medevedev said it was a well thought out decision that he and Putin discussed at the very start of their political collaboration 7 in running Russia.
  Saturday's convention of United Russia echoed accusations 8 that the party is the spiritual successor to the Communist Party of the Soviet 9 Union.  In a carefully choreographed 10 event at Russia's largest sports stadium, orderly rows of black suited delegates gave virtually unanimous approval in the vote on the candidate list headed by President Medvedev.
  Popular politician
  Putin, a judo 11 expert, maintains his popularity with an ever changing variety of televised action events. Most recently, he donned a wet suit and dove for archeological treasures in the Black Sea, and then he donned black leather and rode with a motorcycle club, Wolves of the Night.
  Saturday when his microphone failed, the Prime Minister, a former KGB colonel bellowed 12: "I have not lost my commander's voice."
  But Russia's action leader is more popular than his party. Four years ago, in the last parliamentary elections, United Russia polled 64 percent of votes.  Today, Putin's approval ratings stand around that level, but the party's approval ratings have dwindled 13 to about 40 percent.
  On Friday, Putin lectured party members to "listen to the heartbeat" of voters.
