Israeli Labor Party supporters are dismayed while watching the first exit polls at the somewhat empty Party headquarters in the David Intercontinental Hotel in Tel Aviv, predicting a devastating drop in the Party's power in the parliamentary elections that were held today, Tuesday, February 10, 2009.
