Kadima won the most seats in the election, however, 64 of the 120 parliament seats were won by right-wing parties, so it’s very possible that Netanyahu may become Prime Minister even though he came in second because Livni, who leads Kadima, may not be able to form a coalition government.

This sounds very much like a win for Bibi.
It's a parlimentary system, everyone gets their own party.
If McCains party, along with Huckabees and Romneys get 64 seats, vs 56 for the Clinton and Obama parties, they will probably be the ones to form the government.
Of course Ron Paul and Cindy Sheehan would have their parties too, makes for an interesting "party".
Exactly. That’s how the British Parliamentary system works. Australia was governed by a coalition for many years: the Liberal-Country Party. In Australia, the Libs are the conservatives, by the way. The lefties are the Labour Party.
For all that it matters, you may be correct in that statement, then again may not be. The basis for that statement is exit polls, and the difference between Kadima and Likud is probably within the statistical margin of error of the polls. So lets wait until all the ballots are counted. But whether Likud comes in first or a close second, you are correct to say that Netanyahu may become the next PM; actually, he most likely will become the next PM.
