Oh, those were the days when people actually thought that the Cons had a chance at a majority...

What's particularly funny is that you haven't put forward your ideas to be criticized, yet here you are, guffawing at the opinion of others.

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

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.

Sometime over the weekend I should be posting something, and I'll out-do all of yous guys by doing it by riding, or at least provincially...

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

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.)

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.
