BERLIN - SEPTEMBER 27: German Chancellor and Chairwoman of the German Christian Democratic Union (CDU) political party Angela Merkel and her husband Joachim Sauer wait to cast their ballots in German federal elections on September 27, 2009 in Berlin, Germany. Though the Christian Democrats (CDU) have a substantial lead in opinion polls, analysts are predicting the party will nevertheless be forced to seek a coalition either with the Social Democrats (SPD) or the business-oriented Free Democrats (FDP).
