If elections were held now, both ruling parties - the prime minister’s Kadima and the defense minister’s Labor would plunge to 20 (compared with 29 now) and 12 (compared with 19) out of 120 Knesset seats. Sixty percent of the two parties’ supporters would defect and be floating voters. You've inadvertently set me off on one of my pet peeves. I really hate that beginning phrase..."If elections were held now..." Well, they are not being held now. More trash like statements.... Un-named Democrat wins/loses over un-named Republican if elections were held today. We don't even know who the fri--ing candidates are and the pundits are picking the winners. And now we can return to your post.... I suspect the Israelis will soften their hearts for Olmert over the next n days. Especially, if/when the two soldiers are released. At the moment they are asking themselves what did we win? And they're coming up with a pretty blank balance sheet. jttmab
