Are you telling us she won’t be able to form a government, and that Bibi will?

That would be good news.

That's a distinct possibility. She wasn't able to put together a coalition last year when Shas left her, which is what triggered the election. The question will be who gets the first shot at forming a coalition. Normally the first shot goes to whoever wins the most seats, Kadima/Livni. If she fails, then Likud/Bibi get a chance. Also, it's possible President Peres would give Bibi the first shot, since his decision is based on which party has the best chance of forming a coalition, and that's clearly Likud, the right wing parties having a majority, 63 to 65 seats, on their own. And these are exit polls, which aren't always accurate.

Also, military votes aren’t in the exit polls, and they tend to the right.

So how long do Israeli lawsuits take to conclude that a winner was elected? Faster or slower than the US?
