The question everyone is asking:  How is Bibi going to succeed in creating a government?  It’s not – there’s no way he’s going to succeed.  It’s like watching Houdini, knowing he will escape, but holding your breath until he does.  Wait – once he didn’t.

So who is Bibi going to peel away from his declared party?  There are a few possibilities – people who can be wooed away from their pre-election promises.  

My ideal outcome is that Benny becomes the compromise prime minister and we begin to trust one another again.  (I feel like I’m closing the big storybook with all the kiddies sitting on the floor around me open-mouthed.)
