To me it seems mr Kohler was just tired of it and this was a good excuse to step down.

ARD reports that von der Leyen's chances are dwindling again. YAY! This means that the next one is probably even worse. Tongue

Still hoping for Lammert.

I´ve watched some TV in the morning and they mentioned Gov. Wulff from Niedersachsen.

But would he really step down as Gov. to become President ? Roll Eyes

I read on Spiegel Online that Wulff proposed it himself.

Apparently, Merkel's choice of Ursula von der Leyen was vetoed by the CDU minister-presidents.
Apparantly, conservative forces within CDU don't like two wouldn't like two women at the top. Catholics supposedly didn't like two protestants. (Wulff is a catholic)
