Well the reason I see myself supporting the SDP in '98 is not only because of the party's 3rd way centrism and moderation but also as a "it's time to retire Kohl" vote. His government had been in power too long and Germany needed some fresh air, by 2002 there was no longer any such need.

The left coalition has lost their second election in a row and is still down in the polls. The Social Democrats' leader proved to be an epic fail and resigned recently, leaving the party which once never got below 40% with around 20% of support.

Uh no, they were the anti-Bismarck liberals.  The pro-Bismarck "liberals" were the Nationalliberalen.
