I think Merkel will win by a good margin...we know how polls are skewed to the press' favorites.
Well put. But it looks like a weird coalition is going to have to form. The FDP rejects joining a coalition that includes the Greens. The CDP sez any party but the Left Party. The CDP and FDP together don't make 50 per cent (or so it appears now). So, could be the blended CDP and SPD after all.
