The rest of the island should go NDP, with the possible exception of Esquimalt-Metchosin (high profile Liberal Barb Desjardins) and maybe one of the up island seats (Green or Liberal).
Here is my prediction:
NDP: 43
Liberal: 41
Green: 3
Also, a small piece of data that hasn't been mentioned is that the Greens have been leading on Vancouver Island in the last two Mainstreet polls. And for what it's worth the Green candidates on the island tend to be more qualified than those on the mainland.

Lana Popham (NDP Saanich South) is an old friend of mine. I'd be happy to support her.
