So Predictable

It's been about a day, and Hamas launches mortar shells at Israel, and they miss, with the shells landing somewhere in Gaza.

Not surprisingly, it appears that the war has boosted Likud in the polls, with, "right-wing and religious parties are projected to control a 10-seat majority over a coalition of center, left, and Arab parties in the 120-seat parliament," which means no unity government.

The other big political winner in the war is Labor, which went from 4th or 5th place to a solid 3 in polls

The election is still 3 weeks away, but Benyamin "Dick Cheney without the Charm" Netanyahu looks to be lock as next PM.
