Now that the TVDuel is over, leaving heaving spin doctors and salivating media to stick their appropriate postmortems, is it possible that the most rational course for the future is to wish for the greater of two evils, rather than the lesser?

The SPD has never demonstrated the capacity to learn from electoral defeat, and will likely prefer the obscurity of splendid isolation even as Linke eventually overtake them. But they will keep being less bad than Black-Yellow. So the focus should be on gaining voters for Linke rather than bleeding the SPD of voters.
