Officials in PM's party aren't waiting for the election results: To them, it's already clear the campaign was a 'colossal failure,' thanks to Netanyahu.
Likud officials aren’t waiting for the election results. On Wednesday, following less than favorable polls, senior officials labeled the election campaign a failure, and blamed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the party’s poor showing in the polls ahead of Election Day on Tuesday.
“The Zionist Union will be larger than Likud after the election. This, it seems, is already a fact. The question is what the gap between the two will be. Even if we manage to form the next government, this campaign was a colossal failure. Netanyahu is primarily responsible,” said a senior Likud member.
“Everything went through him during this election season, and the situation isn’t good. The election campaign didn’t function. Netanyahu kept Likud ministers far from decisions,” the senior party figure said. “His excessive focus [on himself in the campaign] and his lack of faith in the party’s Knesset members prompted him to staff the campaign with people who haven’t proven themselves.”
Another Likud official said, “Netanyahu was shown to be a very weak card in this election. He decided to put himself at the front, and forgot that he has an excellent team of ministers and MKs behind him. The public hardly saw them. It turns out the public is weary of Netanyahu, but he didn’t think that was a good enough reason to scale back his presence in the campaign."

You think Netanyahu would make it back for a third separate time as Prime Minister? That would be something to see ... :-) ...
Don’t tell Traveler that. Traveler is too busy spouting US State Department nonsense.
i believe Bibi has said he would resign as head of Likud at 18 seats or fewer.
I see you took your head out of the sand long enough to post! ... LOL ...
You might try posting “news” that you see if there is a problem with the variety of articles you see here ... :-) ...
Really?! I didn’t see that. But I’m not sure it will go that low.
Tuesday will tell. In the meantime, Traveler plays the “too worried about Netanyahu” schtick too smart by a half - trolling for the U.S. State Department.
... LOL ... I think you’re too busy chasing me around on threads ... :-) ...
You call what you post “news” - either you know nothing about Israeli politics, or you think the only sources are leftist. Hmmm... And the SAME crap links on every post?
Ummm ... now that’s something ... it’s the TROLL himself chasing around on threads calling others trolls ... LOL ...
Obama is in seventh heaven.
The Israelis are going to be in some tough times of their own making.
The posted news sources are across the board, from every side ... even if you don’t like them.
The links are recently posted articles on Netanyahu, which are also posted by others.
Yep, it’s quite unfortunate and I hate to see it working out this way!
IMHO....If the libs win in Israel, we are much closer to the Rapture and the time of Jacob’s Trouble, the Great Tribulation.
they talking about the V15 scheme right now on Fox news.
Really? Do you even KNOW a Zionist site?
Post them ... you obviously know how to post. Any Netanyahu post that shows up on Free Republic, I put in that list I have and post it every time. You post it and it will be in the list!
I'd LOVE a warrior for a President
I don't
The speech before Congress will be blamed if he loses.
You’re probably right ...
