Italian center-left candidate Romano Prodi is slightly ahead of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in parliamentary elections, according to preliminary exit poll results.
Prodi's coalition took between 50 and 54 percent of the vote in both the upper and lower chambers of parliament, the exit polls showed Monday.
If this holds it could be very fun to watch the various investigations that should follow. Berlusconi has been the target of a number of investigations, and now will not be in a position to block them.
UPDATE
BBC now reporting that Berlusconi may hold on.
I wonder, do they use Diebold machines.
UPDATE 2
WOW, what a close election. Prodi may have won the lower house, Berlusconi the upper.
