Commentary;
Despite receiving the most seats of any of the partis in last Tuesday’s election, the only thing that stands between Kadima and Implosion to oblivion is heading a governing coalition.
But Olmert has ticked off and rubbed enough people on both sides of the isle the wrong way so as to open the possibility that a union of both sides of the isle will go to President Katsav with a compelling argument that someone else, other than Kadima is more fit and appropriate to form a government. Anyway, it seems like only another year and a half to the next round of elections. Let’s Go Moshe! MB
