Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the Foreign Minister and SPD member who's standing against Merkel in the federal election, summed up the dismal mood in his party when he said, "This is a disappointing election result - there's no talking around...
...This result shows the conservative CDU/CSU bloc and the liberals are the strongest force in German politics today," says Manfred Güllner, head of the Forsa polling institute.

It's an ambitious goal for a party that is hemorrhaging votes and can't seem to find a way out of the crisis. - Tristana Moore / Berlin
