Kadima ministers are preparing for a possibility of primary elections for the party's leadership, should Prime Minister Ehud Olmert choose to step down due to an indictment in the Talansky affair. A senior aide to Olmert, however, is not surprised and believes the situation will soon calm down. The upcoming week is a crucial week for Olmert with US President George W. Bush arriving on Wednesday, while the police investigation against Olmert will still be underway. This will be President Bush's second visit to Israel within a few months, before leaving office at the end of the year.
