There is a big IF that you missed. Fischer said he will step back IF the greens are not part of the next administration.

There is something fishy about Fischers step now. Either there are some strong movements in the Green party leadership to go with the CDU and he doesn´t want to get his hands dirty negotiating with Merkel (it would be the political death of the Greens to go with a CDU/FDP coalition - TheLeft would have a good laugh and 8% more in the next election), or he knows that Schroeder already has an about fixed deal with some CDU leaders.

Ahhh - finally German politics are getting a bit more interesting.

So you said it, please say some more: what deal does Schroeder almost have with the CDU?
