Frome Die Presse (Austria) via Babelfish
Starting from 21 o'clock had then again a coalition from SPD and the Green the nose in front. This would come together on 305 mandates; an alliance from CDU/CSU and FDP would come on 298 seats, so the computer forecasts briefly before 22 o'clock.

Can Schroeder still lose? Possibly
Anyhow, we can now harp on how he really didn't win because his coalition only got 46.7% of the votes :)
In 1998 it was at 58.4%

This is absolutely nuts...
To: marajade
They just mentioned mail in votes that might not be counted, which impacts both lists if they are uncounted.

Hey, the TV coverage is just like here. All they interview are liberl/socialist/communists so as to make it look like nobody voted for the conservative (yet they don't explain how it is such a close race).
No wonder these people are sheeple. They are being led down the same sorry path as we are in regards to the way the news is slanted.
Sheesh!

Thanks, but I thought my #295 was pretty lucid as well.

The link you gave listed unemployment as a reason why Schroeder lost votes...
I can see why unemployment is so high... The income tax rate is outrageous...

"They just mentioned mail in votes that might not be counted..."
Does that speak well for conservatives over there like it does for Republicans here?
To: marajade
I'm still wondering about those high number of letter votes (absentee ballots) referred to in the original article.
To: marajade
I don't have a clue. I tend to doubt it. CDU relies a lot on rural folks. I also suspect there are not nearly of the number of those puppies as there are in the US.

Please tell me which office processes applications for Honorary Serb-hood. I'd like to apply.Answer: Your local Serbian Orthodox church and/or cultural organization. And you won't get to be an "honorary Serb" until you get to know the Serbs in that community--there is no "office to process applications."
To: Torie
Too bad...
With the way the vote is and breakout I'd say there isn't really a mandate either way in Germany...
To: marajade
Oh no, they are going for the tie-breaker...
To: RobFromGa
I still its crazy that a parliament can actually gain seats depending upon the number of voters who turn out.. How could there be any stability?
To: RobFromGa
We cannot Tell.

Schroder is asking for a recount of the Florida votes.
To: Kennard
LOL.

"Hertha 'Adolf' Däubler-Gmelin lost her direct seat."
But using the good 'ol boy system she could still win...
