At that point the result was very close, the CDU/CSU only got I think four more seats (out of over six hundred total).
Presumably there would have been another grand coalition anyway, but with an SPD Chancellor. Would it have been Schroeder (who after all is not anywhere near as humiliated by the events of the Elefantenrunde TTL) or would it need to be someone else? Who? How would that government be likely to go differently over the next four years, and how would the 2009 election go differently? Would Merkel even be a kanzlerkandidat?
