I'm sorry but Obama is far from a lock. Romney is total slime and will do anything to get elected, and Americans in many states are rather stupid.

The beauty of saying something with weasel words is no matter what you say, you can not be wrong in some way!

I thought they taught that stuff in law school?

I doubt that, considering it's not even the kiss of death for Rob Anders.

The fact he got any votes is surprising. Then again, maybe his church members are the ones voting for him.

I mean 3-1 is pretty solid just because you can basically assume 20% of a community are very religious, and Hunsperger is only at 17%.

The PCs played the fear card and got enough Albertans to vote for them. The WRP has to try to prevent that in 4 years time.
Really supprised the fear card worked in Alberta, guess it's the best political card to play anywhere...

What I need to know is that Shane "Robospammer" McCallister didn't win. You can't be rewarded for being that annoying

So current trend to me looks like 50% or so voter turnout.

Assuming that the mix of polls already reported is the same as polls to come.

Maybe not a good assumption since larger polling stations take longer to count?

She is scrutinizing, I doubt she will be home before 11 if my experience tells me anything.

She's volunteering as a scrutineer, so she probably won't be online until later tonight.

Yup, Swann won pretty handily. Looks like he might be the Liberal leader again soon (although Raj's race is very tight and he could still win).
