Election Wrap-up coming up

Well, it's morning now, and Schröder still seems to have won. I'll have more on the reactions and analyses in the German press this afternoon Eastern time. The SPD and CDU/CSU ended up at 38.5% each, the Greens got 8.6% and the FDP 7.4%. The PDS only gets the two directly elected members, and does not get three necessary to have full representation as they remained under 5% nationally. The SPD remains the largest party with 251 seats, just ahead of the CDU/CSU at 247. It's a razor-thin margin, but it should be enough to govern for a while. More on this later.
