Well, I'm rooting for Die Liberalen (FDP) to get a bigger share of the vote, but they're kinda wavering despite having the best ideas in the country. I'd say mismanagement. Klein aber fein!
Prediction-wise, probably a Christian Democrat victory, and then the CDU-CSU coalition with the FDP. Schroeder pulled it off last time by playing off German fears of being a right-wing bigot country. Combined with rising anti-immigrant xenophobia in other European countries, and especially the US move toward war, enough germans were fearful of the right to vote SPD despite reservations about them. With the war winding down or over (Iraqi sovereignty by the end of this month) I think this will be considerably less of an issue in the next election.
