#4 this am yithaki, head of Kadimas parliamentary faction, called for Olmert to go, and rumor apparently is Livni, Foreign Minister and Olmerts main rival in Kadima, will call for his ouster any hour now.

I give Olmert two weeks, at the outside. Maybe days.

Next question: can Livni hold the coalition together?

#5 this just in

all wire services

Livni calls for Olmert to resign, announces her own candidacy to head Kadima.

#6 I think at this point Kadima needs to go. It was lovely as a vehicle to make Ariel Sharon Prime Minister, but sadly it's too full of weak characters to be safely allowed to rule the country. I vote for a quick election putting Likud in power, so they have a little time to prepare for the next round of war.
