German Election Update

Chirol at Coming Anarchy has more analysis on chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's call for a general election in Germany.

Some of Chirol's conclusions:

1) By calling elections so soon (they're expected to be in the fall), Schoeder is trying to make the best of a bad hand, by limiting the time the opposition has to get organized.

2) There's a good chance that we will see Angela Merkel, the pro-American head of the Christian Democratic Union, appointed the next chancellor of Germany.
