"Red/Green has been put out of office. We have received the mandate to build a government. It is not sufficient for a coalition with the FDP. We would have wanted a better result. But still, we are the strongest political force in Germany, and that means: Red/Green is over."
Meaning: Trying to arrange for a grand coalition.
Well, I know one thing, the US won't support Merkel if she accepts to go into coalition with Schroeder. My golly, Rummy and Condi have really pampered her with love and wouldn't forgive her, if she goes "hand in hand" with this ... Schroeder guy. I hear Cheney whispering: "That's a no, no, Angela..."
Do you comment too at DailyKos? Asking for information about the German election system? If yes, then we might have been in contact there too. :)
