| | The Head Heeb: Election day |
 | | EST): With 99.5 percent of the vote counted, Kadima has 28 mandates, Avoda 20, Shas 13, Yisrael Beiteinu 12, Likud 11, Ichud Leumi-Mafdal 9, Pensioners 7, UTJ 6, Meretz 4 and the combined Arab parties 10. |
 | | Based on the final count including the soldiers' votes, I got four bullseyes (Avoda, Ichud Leumi-Mafdal, UTJ and Ra'am-Ta'al) and four others within the range, so I was at least close on more than half the parties. |
 | | Ichud Leumi-Mafdal and Yisrael Beiteinu seem to have staked out fairly clear positions; the former is the national-religious party, and the latter is the secular neoliberal party that, um, doesn't much like minorities. |
