I think we can form a coalition on that.

I think Buzpi’s bombshell on election eve hurt Zionist Union’s prospects.

He’s not going to be Prime Minister because of the way the numbers look.

We’ll know more as the night goes on.

With the 5th circuit vote denying the lifting of the injunction, I bet his excellency is about to explode. Unfortunately, he will now strike out in another campaign to aggravate anyone with whom he disagrees. I wonder what lever he pulls tomorrow.

The Right’s votes went heavily Likud. That made the difference today.

Looks like the right wing bloc gets 63 seats in Channel 2 poll and 64 seats in both the Channel 1 and Channel 10 polls!

Those numbers would mean Bibi could form a government much easier than Herzog the Weenie Obama lapdog could.

Herzog would have to form with the Arab List, and I don’t know if the other left parties would join in such a government.

Likud is 1 ahead of Zionist Union in Channel 2 poll and tied with them in Channel 1 and Channel 10 poll!

Yup.

The huge Joint List win means Buzpi is out of luck. There is no way an Arab anti-Zionist party gets invited into a leftist-led coalition government.

There couldn’t be a more perfect designer result tonight.

Not going to happen.

Communist and Islamist baddies are not a coalition partner.
