______________
The day before the Knesset Channel released the ranking of top Ministers and MKs as a result of public polling, media appearances and analyst grading:
#1 Minister: Naftali Bennett
#2 Minister: Yisrael Katz
#3 Minister: Ayelet Shaked and Moshe Kahlon (tie)
#1 MK: Shelly Yachimovich
#2 MK: Moshe Gafni and Yair Lapid (tie)
#3 MK: Speaker Yuli Edelstein
Herzog had a golden opportunity to facilitate a unity government. Predictably he failed. My hope that in November Herzog comes to WH with BIBI, and work out a deal to join in the unity government. It is his last chance to be a PM some day, otherwise Moshe Kahlon will side step him in the next elections. That is if Yachimovich will not topple him by then. She is a comer.
