SPD's new party chief

SPD just announced that Matthias Platzeck would be the new head of the party. He's been Minister President of the Province of Brandenburg. An Ossi! And young. He's also known for having strong ties to the Green Party, where he started his political career. Amazing, however, is that the choice is already being applauded by the Conservatives. Apparently, they see him as a moderate on most issues and someone who plays well with others.

Handsome too. They could use a little sex-appeal in that party.
