Gerhard Schroeder refused to concede defeat and said he could still theoretically remain in power if talks with other parties were successful.
+++UPDATE+++: Because of the relatively close CDU-CSU results relative to the SPD, both Schroeder and Merkel are laying claim to the Chancellery. It still looks like the CDU-CSU has the better position, but anything is possible, with Schroeder pointing to the fact that he is far more popular than Merkel in a one-on-one comparison.

If this happend in the US, then if in the last elections, if for instance, Bush got 45% of the votes, Kerry got 40% of the votes and 15% went to Badnarik, Nadder and other party's, Kerry could have won by forming a coalition between the Democrat party and the other smaller party's.

I wonder how her Communist past will reflect on her actions as chancellor and am kinda surprised how some people plain ignore her communist past just out of hate for Shroeder.

I've actualy been wondering how it would work in the US if for instance the Republican and Democrat parties broke clean in 2, resulting in say 4 parties getting almost 25% of the votes. Is there a method in place in the US to define who gets to rule? Or does it actualy work the same as in Europe, by forming party coalitions, but hasn't happend in ages since there are only 2 mentionable parties left in the US?
