Okay, I admit I am slow at times.
Just heard Herzog say election between change and hope. Have read that quote a gazillion times. Only when I heard him say it, did “Changey-Hopey” come to mind

Did they think changing the order if the words made any difference? “hopey changey” is the little boy’s signature phrase from 2008.

LMAO!!

According to the Israelis, Sara has a “ problematic personality”. Not very nice to some, if what I’ve read is true.

No that and the soldiers’ vote is later. The soldiers’ vote usually leans right.

From the JP, latest popular vote is even more encouraging:

http://www.jpost.com/Breaking-News/With-25-percent-of-votes-counted-Likud-extends-its-lead-over-Zionist-Union-394259

The returns on voting from ballot boxes indicate that the Likud has significantly extended its lead over Zionist Union.

According to Israel Radio, officials have counted the votes of 25 percent of booths across the country. The results indicate that the Likud wins 32 Knesset seats while Zionist Union garners 25 seats.

Yesh Atid is the third-largest party with 11 seats, Moshe Kahlon’s Kulanu faction wins 10 seats, the Arab List nosedives to nine seats, the Sephardi ultra-Orthodox Shas movement wins eight seats, Naftali Bennett’s Bayit Yehudi dips further to seven seats, while Yisrael Beytenu, which has only mustered five seats, climbs to seven.

United Torah Judaism wins six seats while Meretz rounds out the list with five seats.

The polls were never true. This entire election was fabricated by the obamedia to make him look good. There is no way Israel was ready commit communal suicide.

They were trying to move the vote and it backfired. The Conservatives flexed their muscles.

” Look for Obama to punish Netanyahu/Israel for the win “

He has already started, and I hope Bibi calls him on it.

I’m sure he will.
