MORE OF THE SAME:Olmert endorses Kadima

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Sunday issued an endorsement for his centrist Kadima Party, following speculations regarding his vote in Israel's upcoming general elections. The uncertainty over whom Olmert would be voting for began to dissipate early last week when he told fellow ministers during a government meeting: "This time I will be voting for the party headed by a woman." ,Olmert's remarks were made after various political sources speculated that he would not vote for his own party due to the rift with his Kadima successor and prime ministerial candidate Tzipi Livni.
