Her coalition options are quite limited and from the sound of things, she's going to be begging Schroder and the SPD to enter into a grand coalition. Schroder has already said he won't do a grand coalition unless he can continue to be Chancellor. I see no good options here. I'm guessing we'll see some government limp along for a while before there is another, hopefully more conclusive, election. I wouldn’t be so sure about Merkel taking over the Chancellorship.
