PD senator just tweeted that Bersani will resign! Cheesy  Once a new president is elected. So find a freakin' name already.

It begins with "Future" and ends with "loser".

Rodotà is the only way to go.

Who's that? Anyways, I'm guessing Bersani's resignation automatically triggers the primary process upon taking effect? To be scheduled by the party executive obviously.

Question is will PD take that advice or go back to Berlusconi? I read Grillo's English blog post on it and for once he made sense. Dunno why PD didn't go with Rodota from the outset... except that their soon-to-be-ex leader is a political moron.

He has officially resigned. Thanks for doing the right thing, even if a little late.

Damn. Let's see if a Bersani-backed stooge can win the primary.

The person who allegedly schemed to sink Prodi is the infamous Massimo d'Alema. What a piece of sh*t.

The POS got Bersani to resign by sinking Prodi. So not all bad. Now if the presidency can be resolved ASAP, then primaries can kick off.

Berlusconi said he's open to a joint candidate. So decide whether they can get enough votes for a deal with him or enough for Rodota, then vote.

If Grillo supports anyone he loses all his credibility.

Bersani wasn't really the problem. The problem is the scheming party hacks behind him, of which D'Alema is the most prominent representative.

Even if all of them had voted for Prodi he still wouldn't have won. Bersani's the one who blew a 10-point lead and then blew the presidential negotiations... but yeah, in a larger sense I agree that he's the symptom and not the cause.

PdL will also be casting blank ballots tomorrow. Can't find a candidate quickly enough, or some other reason?

I'm pretty sure that the real problem is that the Second Republic has only a little more credibility than the First now.

Probably less, actually. I am pretty sure contempt for the political class is higher today than it was in 1992, and that's saying something.

Whoa: Reports that Napolitano will accept a second term- whether a full one or merely an extension is unclear. He wants Amato as an interim PM or elected President as a condition. Might push the election back to autumn or next spring.

I guess he resigns partway into the new term, I highly doubt he'll be there till he's 94. Barca doesn't like the idea, ass that he is.
