Bibi looks like he's going to hang on.
Polls just closed in Israel and a raft of exit of polls show a big
comeback for Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud, who closed the last two
days with a round of racist, anti-Arab Israeli appeals to consolidate
the right wing vote in Likud. It seems to have worked. The exit polls
don't all agree. But most show a virtual tie between Labor and Likud in
the high 20 seat range. In other words, both major parties seem to have
over-performed their numbers.
So, incidentally, does Rahm.
CHICAGO, March 15 (Reuters) - Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has opened a
10 percentage point lead in his re-election bid against Jesus "Chuy"
Garcia, an opinion poll on Sunday showed, though his challenger
received a hard-won labor union's endorsement that could bring in
campaign cash and volunteers.
The Chicago mayor's
race went to an unprecedented run-off when well-funded Emanuel, mayor
since 2011, failed to clinch the 50 percent of the vote he needed for
an outright win on Feb. 24.
In other words, democracy, basically, doesn't work.
