Angela Merkel is a genius who gets mistaken for a village idiot. Unless she suffers some completely unexpected disaster, she will in two weeks' time become the most powerful politician in Europe by winning the German general election. Yet she is still generally written off by the German chattering classes as a dowdy nonentity whose rise to power is a mere fluke.

Oh no, a female Bush........may God help Germany.

Very good post, Joe.

The Germans are fed up with Mr Schröder's shameless attempts to charm himself out of trouble, and are ready to be governed by someone of substance, who dares to tell them the truth. In Mrs Merkel, the awkward-looking daughter of an East German clergyman, they appear to have found just such a person.

Above bottom line from your post summarizes the general German sentiment in a nutshell.
