Schroeder's out, regardless of how the election goes. :'D Yippee!!! Best of all, the reprehensible street thug, Joschka Fischer, is also out. See that now-superceded "Merkel" topic (linked above) for a few more odds and ends.
I think Merkel will win by a good margin...we know how polls are skewed to the press' favorites.
10 minutes until showtime BUMP!
CNN also has a poll we should all FReep. Right now it's 35 per cent Schroeder, 52 per cent Merkel. Heh... Schroeder's wife said (as they left the voting place), that her husband sez, when the sun is shining, the SDP wins it. That 25 per cent undecided bloc seems to be partly made up of people who know there needs to be change, but are not sure who can deliver it. Obviously, with Merkel's party in charge of the lower house, it sure isn't Schroeder et al.
Jürgen Trittin, Germany's minister of the environment, will soon be out of gov't, although not out of his seat in the parliament.
