She wanted to run in her own town and nowhere else. Also she won't ask another Green member step down so she can run in a by election.

Well, May shouldn't have run in Central Nova. That is absolutely OWNED by the McKays. You could run Jesus Christ in that riding and they would think the guy named McKay is more pure.

I dunno about this projection stuff. I mean, we all could have projected a Conservative minority a couple weeks ago, but I thought before a news station would call it you would need some kind of mathematical model forecasting the outcome based on the counted votes thus far. I'm looking at the Ontario results and it's "Conservatives 8 votes, Liberals 4 votes, NDP 3 votes and Green 1 after 1 polling station". So if we're at 1 polling station in Ontario, how can you predict the outcome?

How many seats does it take for a majority?

I should know this, but how many seats did the CPC have last time?

Eh? What are you talking about and why was that directed at me?

[the_only_turek_fan]

Maxime Bernier leading in his riding.....

Conservatives got 38.3% of seats in Ontario.

[the_only_turek_fan]

Did I just see on the CBC that Layton is not leading in his riding?

Can anyone confirm this?

Really?

if you don't know what i am talking about...don't worry about it.

[the_only_turek_fan]

Torries have picked up 12 seats!

Liberals have lost 11!

[the_only_turek_fan]

nm.

I think the CPC are going to be a little choked, that they couldn't gain 3 more seats (if indeed they get to 152). That would be amazing though. I thought the polls were suggesting this race was tighter than last time out.
