Most of all, the campaign was characterised by insults, notably Berlusconi's use of a vulgar term to describe centre-left voters.

Horrors! Did he call them "Leftists"?

Nope, he called them coglioni, which bears a resemblance to "cojones" in Spanish, but is translated as "Clymers".

Maybe Prodi's Bob Shrum jinxed him. He probably echoed the same thing Shrum said to Kerry on election day "May I be the first to call you..Mr. President"

This is impossible. DU has proven mathematically that there is only a 1 in 1,000,0000,000,000 chance that exit polls are wrong, and Bush already used that one up.

Just like the 2004 US elections. The exit polls here had the Prodi leading Berlusconi 54-45. My question is... are exit polls the same in every country?

To the extent that the polling is performed by organizations that share a leftist ideology and a desire to promote it, the answer is yes.

The appropriate translation of "coglioni" in English would be "D***heads"

The actual vote count:

Senate (48 368 out of 59 816 districts counted):

Berlusconi 49.63 vs Prodi 49.53

House of Deputies (31 299 out of 60 828 districts counted):

Berlusconi 48.0 vs Prodi 51.42

The latest predictions, however, gives Prodi the popular vote for the Senate by 50.2% vs 48.8%, but Berlusconi will gain more seats 158 vs 151.

For the House of Deputies the Berlusconi is predicted to win 50.0% and Prodi 49.5% giving Berlusconi a majority in the House as well by 340 to 277 seats.

However, too close to call at the moment.
