Olmert: Kadima Has Already Won the Election Campaign
Excerpt;
“‘The question of who will win has already been decided. Now the question is if we will be strong and big enough in order to do everything we need to do. We thus need as many seats as possible,’ Olmert said as a conference of immigrants in Rishon Letzion.”
Commentary;
Ehud Olmert’s pre-mature pronouncement of victory reminds this author of “Red” Auerbach, the former coach of basketball’s Boston Celtics when the established a long-running dynasty in the NBA. It seems that whenever the Celtics seemingly had a lock on winning the game in it’s late going, Auerbach would light his victory cigar. And much to this author’s dismay, anger and dislike of “Red” Auerbach, he was seldom, if ever wrong.
But in the case of Ehud Olmert, the game is far from over, and if the stories heard about the percentage of the undecided vote, fraudulent telepolling numbers and more are true, Olmert may end up eating his “cigar.” MB
