TO SEE: 16 Images...and Read Some Infamous Silvio Quotes
Italy holds a crucial national election Sunday.
An estimated 10% of the voters...some 5 million...are still undecided...or refuse to vote.
In the 2008 election...there was an 80% turnout.
The Eurozone's elites...and foreign bond markets...will be watching the results...with nervous stomachs...and itchy trigger fingers.
According to the WSJ...recent polling had slippery Silvio...the 3x time ex-PM...surging into 2nd place with nearly 30%...trailing only leftist leader Pier Luigi Bersani's 34%...followed by angry anti-euro comic and critic Beppo Grillo at 17%...and acting technocrat PM 'Super' Mario Monti...not doing so super...in last place...with only 11% support.
At 76, it could be Berlusconi's last hurrah.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel...and others EU leaders...certainly hope so.
