The exit polls (here and here) that I’ve been watching show Berlusconi (center right) trailing Bersani (center left) by less than half of a point.
It’s been frightening to watch my Italian friends’ and colleagues’ reactions on Facebook, a mixture of horror and disgust.
The major news outlets are saying it’s too close to call. The only true winner is the maverick entertainer Beppe Grillo (who probably took votes away from Bersani).
Monti is the clear loser.
There’s still hope that we won’t awake tomorrow to discover that Berlusconi has once again been elected prime minister.
The only thing worse that I can imagine is Nebbiolo aged in barrique…
Do Bianchi 
Che incubo
Yes, Nebbiolo aged is barriques would be worse!
Charles, isn’t incredible to think that we’re here again? With Berlusconi and the barriques… ugh… hoping for the best tomorrow…
Agreee…….

If the Italians saw Nous Non Plus Bunga Bunga Berlusconi would have won in a landside- could have been his campaign video.
