Never mind, just caught up on the thread. :(
Yep. :( is the right impression. NOBODY expected that the polls were so wrong. But still, it´s likely that Merkel will be Chancellor. Let´s remember why we have had the early elections: Schröder officially seeked new trust from the voters after the lost NRW-state-election - and now he celebrates as the champion!! He really lost common sense - that´s what the commentators say at least.
I never though this could happen. I´m impressed that the hopes of the SPD-guys came true. This is so unreal for me.
*shaking my head*
Good night you all. I hope that we are at least the biggest party in the new Bundestag, so that we have good chances that Merkel will move to the Willy-Brandt-Allee 1 in Berlin. :-/
