The new CNN special is up and running:

or at least it seems so...
Thanks!
CNN also has a poll we should all FReep. Right now it's 35 per cent Schroeder, 52 per cent Merkel. Heh... Schroeder's wife said (as they left the voting place), that her husband sez, when the sun is shining, the SDP wins it. That 25 per cent undecided bloc seems to be partly made up of people who know there needs to be change, but are not sure who can deliver it. Obviously, with Merkel's party in charge of the lower house, it sure isn't Schroeder et al.
Jürgen Trittin, Germany's minister of the environment, will soon be out of gov't, although not out of his seat in the parliament.
