Bibi wins primary, Sharon suffers "small stroke"

Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has won the Likud Party primary to succeed Prime Minister Ariel Sharon as leader of the conservative bloc.

Sharon, meanwhile, is recovering from a minor stroke which throws his ability to lead the new, centrist Kadima Party into the upcoming election into queston.

Yes, yes. I noticed that Sharon's doctor is named Ben-Hur. Let the chariot jokes begin.

Kadima has a strong lead in the polls, and Labor seems nowhere to be seen.
