Does anyone have a picture of Liberal HQ? I want to see whose ass they were pulling their results out of.

I'm thinking maybe they just neglected to add some of Crocketts in right away - just to keep everyone on edge and enthralled as long as possible.

The world would be totally different if Nader hadn't bled off progressive votes from Gore (particularly in Florida) twelve years ago.

A byelection in Calgary Centre doesn't matter as much, but it still sucks.

That last Forum poll is looking pretty bang on right about now.

35-30-25

Vs.

Actual right now with 225/263

37.0-32.9-25.4

ROI poll had the top two just about exactly right. Greens are about 8pts above the 17% that poll had though.

Haha this is so awesome. Exactly tied now.

Looks like in the end, it won't be THAT close after all: Crockatt currently leads by 1300 votes.
