Oh ya, no question about that. I was only talking about signs on private property. The signs on public property are meaningless to me. On the main road in my neighborhood I noticed at least a dozen new PC signs on lawns today. That is impressive, and makes me wonder about the polls showing a supposed runaway. I wouldn't say its over (it could be a blip in the riding), but it doesn't seem to be the blowout its portrayed as.
I also drove through Jonathan Denis riding today and again the signs on public property were clearly in his favour (at least in the part I was in). My office is in Swanns riding and its basically his to lose based on what I see, same with Kent Hehr in Buffalo.
Obviously this is purely anecdotal and could be entirely wrong. I just look as I'm in these areas, so its not incredibly accurate. I just wouldn't be planning the parade just yet.
