Socialists favored to win Greeces election

Greeks have begun casting ballots in a general election likely to produce a change in government. Voters angered by a series of scandals and a foundering economy are expected to reject the conservative party of Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis in favor of the opposition socialists led by former foreign minister George Papandreou. But it is unclear whether Papandreou will be able to win an overall majority that would allow him to form a government. If he doesn't, new elections will have to be called. A key difference between the two is their approach to Greece's economic woes. Karamanlis advocates austerity while Papandreou says a stimulus package is needed to jump-start the economy.
