Israel Elects...Someone

So Israelis went to the polls yesterday to elect a new prime minister, but Israel being Israel the outcome is kinda crazy. As it stands now it looks like Tzipi Livni and Kadima just barely edged out Bibi Netanyahu and Likud, so she gets the first shot at forming a government. It may be tough for her though, cause after Likud the next winningest party is Avigdor Lieberman's far right Yisrael Beitenu, which may create too powerful of a right wing bloc for Livni to be able to form a governing coalition. Anyways, you can read about the election here, here, and here.
