Notice that they totally ignore that die Linke is no longer an east only party.  I'm suspicious of exit polls, particularly if there's postal voting.  Any good campaign organization on the left is going to push their people to vote by post if at all possible.  That way you get out the disabled and elderly, who tend to be supportive of things like pensions and government aid.  Plus I wonder if there will be a large group of Hartz IV people who show up in the postal vote.

Well, the "Financial Times Deutschland" would have liked a CDU-Green coalition. :)

They were very skeptical of the FDP. Promising tax cuts and a balanced budget given the budget reality sounded stupid to them. Not to mention that the FDP was the only party not reflecting on the financial crisis.

That will probably mean that the "FTD" isn´t a "serious" (economics) newspaper any longer, right?
At least for the Economist or the WSJ?
