Liberals projected to lose almost all close races

Oh. My. God.

The Liberals are projected to lose virtually all 45 tight ridings being tracked by the Strategic Counsel polling firm, according to new seat projections conducted for The Globe and Mail and CTV.

The Strategic Counsel has been tracking 45 of the most narrowly won ridings from the last campaign and is translating those numbers into seat-by-seat results. The findings are bad news for the Liberals, which won 17 of those ridings in 2006. The party is projected to hold on to only one of those seats – the Quebec riding of Hull-Aylmer. For the Conservatives, their seat numbers in these ridings would jump from 16 to 32. The NDP would win three, down from four in 2006.


The Conservatives will gain in 905, 519, and B.C.

Hot damn.

We're better off with Harper.

Why this blog now?

I am getting more crusty in my old age, seeing people simplify issues, or being just right out wrong is causing me consternation. Hopefully this political blog will allow me to vent in a somewhat intelligent and insightful manner. If not, then it should be good therapy!
