Brotherly Advice
Although he's merely a half brother to the former Chancellor of Germany, Gerhard Schroeder, who lost in the last election, but, Gore-like, refuses to acknowledge it (because apparently nearly-a-tie goes to the incumbent in Germany), Lothar Vosseler is giving good advice to his brother:
"I think he should give up. He has already done so much for the Social Democratic party that he can leave with his head held high."
Yea, double digit unemployment (including his half-brother--he's not bitter), declining population and clout in the World, and there was a war (in Iraq) and Germany didn't fight in it. I guess Herr Schroeder has indeed left his mark, but, by my way of thinking, it's not a head held high set of accomplishments.
