The New York Times reports the Likud victory.

For a bruised politician who offended many voters, Bibi sure kicked butt...

[Haiku Guy]

The murky exit-poll predictions led to a murky reaction from the White House, where a spokesman said that President Obama remained “committed to working very closely with the winner of the ongoing elections to cement and further deepen the strong relationship between the United States and Israel, and the president is confident that he can do that with whomever the Israeli people choose.”

Note the White House referenced "the ongoing elections" even after the polls were closed. It isn't over until the cheating is done with these guys. Fortunately, this one was outside the MOF (Margin Of Fraud)...

As obammy’s run of election defeats continue.
Seems everyone everywhere in the world cept Iran supporters tell him to go fish.

Congratulations to the Israeli people for their wise choice. Too bad our country is too stupid to elect a dececent leader.

[BlackAdderess]

“Netanyahu Soundly Defeats Chief Rival in Israeli Elections”

Take that Obama!

[DoodleDawg]

After a bruising campaign focused on his failings...

Must not have had many failings, given the size of the win.

[tellw]

Had to go down to the second paragraph to see that the “Chief Rival” they were referring to was Herzog. Really it was Obama.

[CASchack]

Obama will take his cue from those in Israel who did not vote.

[JudyinCanada]

Congress should send another bust over to Israel to congratulate Netanyahu. Perhaps one of Reagan.

[ScottinVA]

Bibi kicked ass. I love it!

[Dave346]

Looks like Likud has 30 right now, 6 ahead of ZU.

A record 28 women (up 1) and 17 Arabs (up 5) made it in.

Yachad falls 12,000 votes short of the threshold.

Finally. That incessant sound of the banging of nails in Netanyahu's coffin was getting to be too much.

[blueyon]

Praise God and thank you Israel for re-electing Netanyahu!

[Robert DeLong]

though he offended many voters and alienated allies in the process

What a load of crock from the New York Slimes.

[jch10]

Republicans will learn nothing from this conservative victory. They will go in a different direction.

[DeaconRed]

Now if we can get us a BiBi here.

[Timber Rattler]

He offended so many voters that he won in a landslide?

[baltimorepoet]

At least there is ONE leader who will stand up to Iran.

[Eddie01]

First bit of really good news in a long long time.
Feeling good today.
