Election Today

In roughly twelve hours, the Bavarian state election will be over and results will pour in.  Expectations? 

1.  The CSU (sister party of the CDU) will win but it likely won't be the same type of results as in 2013. 

2.  The AfD folks are discussed in polls as having 10-percent of the vote.

3.  The SPD suffers badly, with the Greens taking their votes. 

A big deal?  Some will say that the stagnation going on in Germany has taken some respect from Merkel and the CDU (along with the SPD).  Bavaria won't have another state election until 2023 (two years after the next national election).  That might be helpful to have a new Chancellor in place and plus up the CSU numbers by then.
