...delicate task of persuading the spd's left wing, led by a vigorous younger generation, to work in tandem with the Christian Democratic right. "This will commit the party to the grand coalition more than before," says Gerd Langguth, a political scientist at Rhenish Friedrich Wilhelm University in Bonn. Stoiber's exit, meanwhile, removes a powerful potential rival from Merkel's Cabinet. So predictions of the grand coalition's demise are premature, says Bernhard Wessel, a political scientist at Berlin's Free University. He calls Müntefering's departure a "beneficial shock" that will resolve tensions between the party...

...elections ranked "labor-market policy" as the key factor that would determine their support. Social justice trailed well behind, and environmental policy was ranked next to last, registering with just 8%. "Young Germans tend to let their belly decide who they vote for," says Stefanie Wahl of the Bonn-based think tank the Institute for Economic and Social Research. They have also embraced the traditional family values that their firebrand elders rejected. Not for them the lifestyle of Fischer - married four times and now divorced with a girlfriend half his age - or Schröder, who has a similar record...
...church doors." Whatever government emerges will have to bridge the divides. But neither Schröder nor Merkel seems well suited to unify after a campaign in which both fought so fiercely. "The chemistry is terrible at the moment," concedes Gerd Langguth, a political scientist at the University of Bonn and cdu insider.
