In head-to-heads between Feiglin and Netanyahu's preferred candidates, Feiglin won in Jerusalem, Yesha, Gush Dan and youth. Bibi's only success was in the olim, where he managed to stack the odds impossibly in his own favor.<BR/><BR/>All in all this was a resounding success for Feiglin, both personally for getting spot no 20 and all but guaranteeing that he will be an MK on Feb 11, and for demonstrating the voting power of his supporter base.<BR/><BR/>Hodu laShem ki tov!Shaul Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13657787388625188732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-7359234242059431412008-12-09T10:03:00.000+02:002008-12-09T10:03:00.000+02:00Sackett did not get in.whats - first of all, it lo...Sackett did not get in.<BR/><BR/>whats - first of all, it looks like they are very left, Tzipi Livni has been trying recently to portray herself as more right.. she criticized barak for not leading an offensive in Gaza (how come she said nothing the past 3 years?), etc.<BR/><BR/>Second, I think they, to a certain extent, have given up on the right wing voter. rthey know they cannot get them, so fight for the left and center.<BR/><BR/>Now that the Likud comes out with a fairly right wing list (with touches of left to balance it a bit), Livni and Kadima will make a push for the more right-center voter...Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-87586593339368130542008-12-09T09:48:00.000+02:002008-12-09T09:48:00.000+02:00did sackett get in?did sackett get in?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-3903781793423582112008-12-09T08:59:00.000+02:002008-12-09T08:59:00.000+02:00I have a question... if the polls are showing a st...I have a question... if the polls are showing a strong win for likud, and a general national push towards the right, and low ratings for kadima, why is kadima so vehemently pushing the left? If the general attitude is towards the right, wouldn't they want to work harder on getting some right??? it doesnt make sense they are continuing to be so vehemently left, it seems to me that its only going to dig their own grave deeper? am i missing something?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-60544959911431094782008-12-09T08:36:00.000+02:002008-12-09T08:36:00.000+02:00this was not a post about Feiglin... that will com...this was not a post about Feiglin... that will come. waiting for some more final info...<BR/><BR/>Overall the Feiglin people did great.
