(Israpundit).The latest poll from Maariv has Likud and Kadimah in a dead heat. I asked a Likud insider about this and he discounted it as coming from the left. He reminded me about how the polls has Livni ten points ahead of Mofaz when they were in fact in a dead heat. He had other things to say.
- Likud will get from 31 to 39 mandates in the upcoming election.
- Bibi is putting forward his plans for a bottom up process instead of the top down one now in place. This change has been rejected by all world leaders. I asked if it was another way to put off negotiations and he said “yes” and that Likud didn’t want to be in your face so to speak. It must talk the talk.
- Bibi considers the economic meltdown the major issue to campaign on, so his states talk of economic development.
