It's weird, according to Ha'aretz, "Sharon`s physician says he expects PM to emerge from surgery `safely`"
That was posted about an hour ago, yet it hasn't been picked up anywhere else to the best of my knowledge.
What would be better, if he died or if he lives and ends up stepping down? The former might get Olmert the sympathy vote, which would take some of the power from Bibi. The latter... I don't know what would happen with that scenario, really.
see, that was my first thought, BUT- dont polls show that new party is composed of more former likud voters than labor voters? what if they just revert to their old ways? on the other hand, what if they take a look at netanyahu, think eww old been there wasnt too happy and go towards labor. on the other other hand, what if the trauma of sharon's death brings out the cowardly scared sheep that all of us are sometimes and they go towards the familiar however old and smelly rather than the anxiety-causing new.

but the knesset seats polls are... less close btwn likud and labor, 39-22-12.
is this all denial? very likely. i cant deal with the prospect of netanyahu. sorta agree with zazuom. hmm...
