From The Jerusalem Post:
Former president Shimon Peres on Thursday announced his endorsement of Zionist Union leader Isaac Herzog to be the next prime minister of Israel.
"The Israeli democracy is approaching the day of choice. It is natural that people will have differing opinions and that they will vote according to their conscience. As for me, I support Isaac Herzog to be prime minister," Peres stated.

A series of internal polls taken this week by the Zionist Union by former prime minister Ariel Sharon’s pollster, Kalman Geyer, found the Zionist Union leading the Likud by five to seven Knesset seats – the Zionist Union with as many as 28 and as few as 24 seats, and the Likud with as many as 21 and as few as 18.

Go Herzog! If Netanyahu loses, it will be a historic rebuke of all things neocon. Bibi and Kristol and Cheney had likely been planning this sedition festival for years. And it is backfiring spectacularly. Fingers crossed...
