Just Chillin': Prodi Crawls Towards Victory

Yesterday afternoon Prodi said he was "serene" -- but political limbo is still the name of the game. The contested ballots are now only 5,266 -- not nearly enough to secure Berlusconi a victory -- and Prodi is now on the home stretch. But the bickering between the two camps continues, with the official outcome not to be certified until, at the earliest, April 18th.

Meanwhile, Berlusconi speaks to his followers: "resisteremo" -- "we will resist."
