Rot-Rot-Grün-Debatte: Kritiker gehen vor Beck in die Knie - Naumann beklagt sich über "Lkw aus Mainz" - Politik - SPIEGEL ONLINE - Nachrichten		Red-Red-Green debate: critics fall on their knees before [SPD party boss Kurt] Beck - [Hamburg leading candidate Michael] Naumann complains about "truck from Mainz" [capital of Beck's home state Rhineland-Palatine]
Steinbrück, Steinmeier: War da was? Der Proteststurm gegen SPD-Chef Beck hört so plötzlich auf, wie er ausgebrochen war. Sämtliche Spitzengenossen stellen sich jetzt im Linkskurs-Streit hinter ihren Boss. Hamburgs Wahlverlierer Naumann allerdings beklagt sich über einen "Lkw aus Mainz", der alles "platt gemacht" habe.		[Federal economy minister Peer] Steinbrück, [federal foreign minister Hans-Walter] Steinmeier - was there anything? The storm of protest against SPD boss Beck ends as abruptly as it started. Now all top comrades line up behind their boss in the fight over the leftward direction. However, Hamburg's election loser Naumann complains about a "truck from Mainz" which "flattened everything".

My interpretation: the so-called "storm of protest" was the media hyperventillating about some cases of veiled criticism, and SPIEGEL still saved some of it into the headline. Amazingly, the SPD did find back to Schröder-time party discipline.
