It is very clear that Prodi is going to head a very unstable government; it is weak because its majority is too thin and it's reliant on thorough idiots like the Communists.
Berlusconi should protest, to a point. Then graciously concede, and watch the Left self-destruct like they did the last time. Then he can sweep to power once more.

Berlusconi = Italian for Algore.

Berlusconi gave a fiery denunciation of the Left as the election loomed, asking who was it who had idolized the likes of "Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Polpot?" Asking who wants to try to eliminated political adversaries using the courts? Asking who wants to increase property taxes, inheritance taxes...
Good reminder for people here in the states as well.
Funny, the MSM never mentioned it.
