Too close to call. If McGuinty and Trudeau hadn't gotten all the bad press recently I would have called Locke for the win. However now that Crockatt has opened up her mouth and proved to be an idiot.... who knows.

Generally in bi-elections where the balance of power isn't threatened, the opposition parties have the advantage... primarily because its easier for them to get out the vote and supporters for the party in power tend to stay home.

In some ways I'm almost rooting for the NDP or Green party to win.... or at least anybody but Locke. Not that Locke isn't a good man. He is. In fact I wish he were the CPC candidate. I just can't stomach the Liberal party winning because a win would in some ways validate Justin Trudeau's leadership candidacy.

Oh wait.... I want Trudeau to win....

I've changed my mind! Go Locke!!!! Locke for the win!!! Vote Locke today!!!
