...Olmert's replacement as Kadima chief can take over from him as prime minister only with the endorsement of Kadima's coalition partners - who range from the more dovish Labor Party to a party dedicated to pensioners and another representing the ultra-Orthodox. Without their backing, the Kadima-led government will tumble, and Israel could face new elections by early...
...polls for absolutely anything and are a reliably liberal base that is just not into him. He wronged them by beating Hillary Clinton, whom they loved because she's feisty and tough, like a fifth Golden Girl.

Bush in 1992 after the President vomited on him during a dinner. Yet the former Foreign Minister advised policymakers in boosting Japan's economy after World War II; helped plan a bailout of Japan's failed banking system in the '90s; and as the country's leader for two years, sought to restore ties with wartime enemies in Asia. In 1992 he was the first Japanese PM to acknowledge the role of Japanese soldiers in forcing...
