		Stoiber, premier of the wealthy state of Bavaria, is holding a final rally in Berlin on Friday evening before heading home to Munich, where he will open the Oktoberfest beer festival on Saturday — a dilemma for the Bavarian, who has been keen to hide his southern roots to avoid turning off northern voters.
		Schroeder appears to be holding onto a dramatic comeback in polls that started last month amid praise for his firm crisis management of record floods and has been helped by his strong opposition to war that has touched a nerve in a nation that has a strong pacifist tradition due to its violent history.
		Stoiber has said he opposes unilateral U.S. action but vowed to lead Germany out of "isolationism" and repair damage done to its image abroad by Schroeder's refusal to join any war on Iraq.

		Mr Stoiber is famous for his hardline stance on foreigners, and was one of the few provincial leaders to kick up real opposition to the Government's decision to sanction gay marriage.

		Stoiber became the right's candidate for chancellor by elbowing aside Angela Merkel, novice leader of the Christian Democrat Union (CDU), the party of Konrad Adenauer and Helmut Kohl, which is accustomed to running Germany.
		Stoiber talked tough on law and order and on the value of the Christian faith in public life, and tougher still on immigration (his inclination at the time was to fill charter planes with recalcitrant Balkan refugees and send them home).
		Edmund trained as a lawyer, but while studying became active in local conservative politics, which was aggressively anti-communist and anti-left in general.

		Edmund Stoiber's lead in the German election polls is due to his success in transforming Bavaria into a hi-tech heartland

		Mr Stoiber may be older, stuffier and more socially conservative than the chancellor, but he has had much more contact with the industries of the future.

		Stoiber provoked a storm of criticism last week after he was reported to have said it should not be for the "frustrated" of eastern Germany to decide the upcoming election.
		Stoiber's comments, which have dominated headlines in German newspapers, have struck a very raw nerve in a region lagging far behind more prosperous western states like Bavaria 15 years after reunification.
		Conservative strategists are increasingly worried that the remarks and several others of a similar tenor by Stoiber that have been reported in the media could ruin what only a few weeks ago appeared to be a certain victory for Merkel.

		Schroeder's closest challenger, Edmund Stoiber, had locked up 45.9 per cent in an alliance between three parties – two conservative groups, the Christian Democratic Union and the Christian Social Union (CDU-CSU), as well as the Free Democrats (FDP).
		Stoiber, the Bavarian governor, had moved into what appeared to be a comfortable lead by campaigning to cut taxes faster, reduce the power of unions, and toughen immigration laws.
		Stoiber, meanwhile, said that he doesn't think Schroeder's majority will be strong enough to let him govern for long.
