How Did Angela Merkel Get to the Top?
Ralf Neukirch of Der Spiegel, in an October 11, 2005 article headlined "Merkel's Surprising Rise to the Top," wrote: Even when she became the leader of the conservatives, few people -- including many within her own party -- took her seriously. All luck, they said. But now, Angela Merkel is set to become Germany's first ever woman chancellor and has left all her political opponents in the dust. How did she do it?
Good question. Here's Neukirch's answer.
