In direct contravention of my wife's explicit instructions, herewith I inaugurate my first blog. Long may it prosper.

For some reason, I think I have something to say to you. You think you have something to say to me? Email me at: gideonsblogger -at- yahoo -dot- com

 
Re: Likud elections, I think it matters not a whit how many ultra-hawks got to the top of the Likud list. Sharon won the primary - decisively. Mofaz is not a particularly popular figure and the other names mentioned - like Sharon's son Omri - have no popular following at all. Why shouldn't people with their own constituencies - like Livna, HaNegbi and Landau -have done well? The one good bit of news is how poorly Moshe Feiglin did. The more I learn about his group, the more alarming it seems. His relationship to Likud is comparable to David Duke's relationship to the GOP. Thankfully, it looks like he's still utterly marginal.
