It looks like a tie

It's a clear indication of just how far the global information revolution has gone when China provides the best current information on a German election.

In any event, the Chinese tell us that. in essence, that the German election is a tie.

Schroeder and Merkel are both claiming victory, but the only thing that is certain at this point is that whoever is Germany's next Chancellor will the head a coalition government.

Go CDU. Go Merkel!
