Kadima Chairwoman Tzipi Livni delivered an enthused speech at an event for her supporters on Tuesday evening at the Tel Aviv port, assuring them the party would not enter a "paralyzed government"."No one can take this victory from us," Livni told the assembled crowd, "no one can take away the feeling that we can change the country from us or from everyone who held their breath with us on Tuesday night. No magician can make the tens of thousands of people who voted for us vanish. No one can take away the journey that will end when we form a government under my leadership.
MK Gilad Erdan (Likud) issued a scathing response to the rhetoric sounded at the Kadima event: "DJ Tzipi is welcome to go right on jockeying at delusional parties, but the person who will form the next government is Benjamin Netanyahu, who was elected by the majority of the public. Kadima is detached from reality and is handling itself according to some imaginary script written for it and for Tzipi Livni by image consultants who cheated and deceived the Israeli public throughout her term and the election campaign, as they (the public) is now discovering."
