I don't think basing your vote soley on who knocked on your door is necessarily a good indication of who is best for the job. There are lots of other ways to get your questions answered.

We aren't talking politics around here, as much as is humanly possible. We're a split household, LOL.

Probably not and I will admit I said that out of frustration. Thing is I know the work Barlow has done in this region and he's a good man who has represented us well. In the end I had to decide wether I was voting for a national leader or a local candidate. Not liking the Liberal infrastructure defecit platform and the fact he's going to win made the choice much easier.

Numbers coming pretty much on par with what 308 has projected, looks like to me

Yeah, it's an interesting way to pick a candidate.
Personally, I don't want my candidates knocking on my door. It is 2015, if I want to know something about my Candidate, I will look it up online on my own time, maybe send them a tweet or an email.
I might be inclined to vote for the candidate that bothered me the least.

I couldn't stomach watching her anymore and switched over to the CTV national coverage instead. So what she's yammering on about at this point, I have no idea.

My hope for my riding is that the Conservative candidate loses. It's not likely to happen but I hope the strategic voting will work.

I had assumed the Cons were basicly dead in Ontario. Curious as to why you think he/she might win.

308 has it projected at 23-3-3 in Atlantic.
Everything looks as they have predicted, so far.

The Atlantic provinces are the only ones that close earlier now and they collectively don't have that many seats (less than 10% of all seats).
Every province from Alberta to Quebec now all close at the same time. BC is a half hour later (presumably, the thinking is that anyone who's voting in that last half hour is already at the polls before any results start coming in from the middle of the country).

He's had the seat 10 years. This riding is heavily Conservative. I've actually voted for him in the past, but have lost faith in him and his party.

308 had the CPC in a dogfight in Central Nova, but not leading any other riding.
If they win 3, then they are +2 over what 308 predicted.

Wow. 308 had predicted Acadie-Bathurst in NB to go NDP with 89% certainty. Liberals lead by 121 votes now.
308 predicted the Conservatives take NB Southwest with 73% certainty. Liberals lead by 187 votes, and 10 points.
The polls underestimated Liberal support, or overestimated the CPC/NDP ability to get out the vote.
