1.) The IDF vote also includes foreign emissaries, patients in hospitals and prisoners. It has been reported however that dozens of soldiers have written in Gilad Shalit for Prime Minister. The soldiers don't forget him, even if the government did. If I were counting ballots these would clearly be a vote against Kadima and Labor. We should know the unofficial numbers by the end of the day. (minus the invalid Shalit ballots).
2) A lot of conflicting reports emanating from Ichud Leumi regarding their meeting with Netanyahu. It is being reported by INN that Ichud Leumi, Shas and United Torah Judaism are meeting to present a united religious faction, which together would bring 20 seats. That would be a good plan.
3) The possibility of Kadima entering Netanyahu's government may not be as horrifying as it sounds. There are some good right wing people in Kadima. Under a right wing government they could return to their former ways.
4) Lastly, the funny story of the day is that Stas Meseznikov, head of Yisrael Beiteinu's negotiating team is saying that Avigdor Lieberman might recommend himself for Prime Minister. Anything is possible in Israeli politics.
