jdobbin Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 The way the economy has gone, I no longer feel the Liberal vote will completely collapse. However, the surge for the Tories is over. They will win more seats and form the government based on today's numbers. The trend is not good though for Harper. The longer this goes on, the closer the numbers are going to get. I think a Tory minority government. Conservative 130 Liberal 100 Bloc 46 NDP 32 Green 0 Total: 308 seats Quote
guyser Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 Conservatives....158Liberals...............93 Bloc Quebecois....42 NDP................... 14 Independent..........1 Total.................308 Voter turn out...49% (46% if it rains) Thats cheating !

capricorn Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 Tories should rebound after Dion muses re: transition team I watched his interview with Mansbridge tonight. Mansbridge asked him if there was a role for Elizabeth May in a Dion government. Dion went in all directions and didn't answer the question other than to say he would like to see her in the House of Commons. Then they talked about his deal with May about not running a Liberal candidate in Peter MacKay's riding (Central Nova). In the next breath, he's begging voters not to vote Green but to vote Liberal to stop Harper. Excuse me, Mr. Dion, Central Nova does not have a Liberal candidate to vote for. What a doofus.

capricorn Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 Jerry, you've got the BQ at 28. Is there a reason you see them so low in number of seats? Just curious. Quote "We always want the best man to win an election. Unfortunately, he never runs." Will Rogers

Maybe didn't understand May question becasue of hearing issue Gotta love the irony but he is looking better and somewhat understandable Like his stable as well for front bench especialliy with Brison/McCallum on finance issues Harper should have gone in summer as soon as GShift was announced but hindsight is 20-20 Quote Common sense is not so common. - Voltaire
cybercoma Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 That's registered voters, not the % of Canadians.http://www.sfu.ca/~aheard/elections/historical-turnout.html % of eligible voters is the metric most commonly used... % of canadians is useless. Quote

Motoro Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 308 seats up for grabs....308 points to score. Subtract 1 point for each seat off your prediction...NO "OTHER"...either independant or party name Tie Breaker....% voter turn out PREDICT EARLY AND PREDICT OFTEN>>>> Just a thought...wouldn't a better tiebreaker be whoever made the earlier prediction? (i.e. someone who made a prediction at the start of the campaign without the benefit of the last polls should get the nod over someone who waits to the last minute. All posts would have a time stamp, even the edited ones.) Quote

normanchateau Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 Prediction for 2008 election: CPC 125 Liberal 94 NDP 36 BQ 51 Green 0 Other 2 The Liberals and NDP won't form a coalition even though they will be able to outvote the Conservatives. At the dissolution of Parliament last month, the party standings were: CPC 127 Liberal 96 NDP 30 BQ 48 Green 1 Other 3 Vacant 3 As I type this, the Dow Jones is up more than 900 points. Unfortunately for Harper, any financial turnaround at this stage is too late to change tomorrow's results significantly. The election will have cost Canada more than a third of a billion dollars and Harper will have contemptuously defied his own fixed-date election legislation. For a leader who prides himself on not taking risks, Harper took a huge gamble. Quote

normanchateau Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 LIbs at 22 - Is that based on Libs holding Egmont, Fredericton and picking up Avalon while NDP pick up South Shore It assumes no change in NB and PEI, CPC losing South Shore to the NDP , and losing Avalon and St. John's South to the Liberals and St. John's east to the NDP.
