Alas, the moment has arrived. The water cooler talk on Wednesday will be focused on one thing, and one thing only. No, not the election results. But on how you guessed on this pre-election quiz. Of course, you could choose not to enter your picks, but then, much like high school, you'll be left in the cold, looking in, while all the cool kids talk about your mother.
So, if know your Anders and Afghanistan, your Bloc Quebecois and block voting, your Green Shift and Red Book, Stephen and sweaters and your May and Layton, here are 6 questions that will answer who will win the CP riding in the upcoming election. Let's make me the incumbent, because I can.
Three things;
1) Copy and paste are your friends.
Highlight your answer.
2) 2006 results, to the best of my knowledge, are posted in parenthesis.
3) For aesthetic reasons, please leave your commentary at the door and simply state an answer. There is a lovely thread for your opinionated opinions right here.
