But there was one thing for Schröder to celebrate, and he was giddy with it on television just after the polls closed: Angela Merkel hadn't won. Of course, strictly speaking she hadn't exactly lost either. But just weeks before the election pundits and pollsters were still expecting her to wipe the floor with Schröder.
