Toss in the morons that will vote for the libs because Ignatieff will give money for the arena and a couple of Edmonton seats are in play.
People really care about Expo? I remember Calgary bid and lost Expo 2005 and I don't think anyone cared.

The arena could get a few votes but in the overall scheme of things sports fans make a very small segment of the population. I don't think 'getting an arena' is a cry that will get people off their butts.
I also predict a small Conservative majority. 161 seats.

transplant: can't see the libs falling below the NDP. they would have to get less than 60? I've seen rejections of a government from majority to nothing (Kim Campbell) but I've never seen a rejection of a current opposition party to those levels, especially in times of recession.
