(globes). Netanyahu's silence - not calling to the prime minister, Ehud Olmert, to leave Office and suspend himself - was his most powerful Saying his last week. After months that the likud called for Olmert to step down , with a news on the filing of an indictment against him (after the hearing), the Loud out-called Opposition like swallowed their Tongue. While Kadima, the Prime Minister's party, have decided to put a decisive amount of Pressure to show Olmert the Way out.
Kadima fears that the only way to win, that looks like right now, is if Olmert Leaves, and now. Olmerts suspension will give Livni a few months in the Prime ministers Chair and actually in Charge that will help her struggle against the Likud and netanyahu . "If he does not Leave , we are going to lose", was the excuse of one of the senior advisers. Olmert, who brought us to victory in elections, will be Blamed, if needed , over our Collapse.
Despite their demonstrating secured victory in the Public, its not sure that that is the tone in the closed meetings. The order sent last Wednesday evening to all the members to stop their stop their business and rush to the general meeting , stressed that Kadima is looking for the light at the end of the tunnel.
Even Kadima understands that Livni is in trouble. She can not focus its message of clean hands, while she is surrounded by suspects in her own party; and a Economic message can also not take the lead of the campaign, when she is not even invited to the Economical discussions ; A national Security message will also not make sense, if Expressing her Experience, because she just has no national security experience . While the mess in the Likud headquarters continues and from so many consultants they do not see Netanyahu, it seems like Olmert will do the job for him, what he will need to do is simply not to make mistakes.
