For those of you out there who are going to follow the cabinet ministers in their ridings tonight:

The Liberal Cabinet (those standing for re-election) and their seats:

Paul Martin (Prime Minister, LaSalle--Émard, QC)
Anne McLellan (Deputy PM, Edmonton Centre, AB)
Andy Mitchell (Agriculture Min., Parry Sound--Muskoka, ON)
Liza Frulla (Canadian Heritage Min., Jeanne--Le Ber, QC)
Joe Volpe (Citizenship/Immigration Min., Eglinton--Lawrence, ON)
Stephane Dion (Environment Min., Saint-Laurent--Cartierville, QC)
Ralph Goodale (Finance Min., Wascana, SK)
Geoff Regan (Fisheries/Oceans Min., Halifax West, NS)
Pierre Pettigrew (Foreign Affairs Min., Papineau, QC)
Ujjal Dosanjh (Health Min., Vancouver South, BC)
Belinda Stronach (Human Resources Min., Newmarket--Aurora, ON)
Andy Scott (Indian Affairs/Northern Dev. Min., Fredericton, NB)
David Emerson (Industry Min., Vancouver Kingsway, BC)
Lucienne Robillard (Intergov. Affairs Min./Privy Council Pres., Westmount--Ville-Marie, QC)
Aileen Carroll (International Cooperation Min., Barrie, ON)
Jim Peterson (International Trade Min., Willowdale, ON)
Irwin Cotler (Attorney General, Mount Royal, QC)
Joe Fontana (Labor/Housing Min., London North Centre, ON)
Bill Graham (Defense Min., Toronto Centre, ON)
John McCallum (National Revenue Min., Markham--Unionville, ON)
Scott Brison (Public Works Min., Kings--Hants, NS)
Ken Dryden (Social Development Min., York Centre, ON)
Jean Lapierre (Transport Min., Outremont, QC)
Albina Guarnieri (Veterans Affairs Min., Mississauga East--Cooksville, ON)
Stephen Owen (Western Economic Diversification Min., Vancouver Quadra, BC)
Reg Alcock (Treasury Board Pres./Wheat Board, Winnipeg South, MB)
Tony Valeri (Gov't Leader in the House, Hamilton East--Stoney Creek, ON)

It appears only one (John Efford) is standing down this time.

If most of them lose their seats, it will be a good night. It would be sweet to say good-bye to turncoats Scott Brison and Belinda Stronach. And of course can forget Alberta's sole Liberal Anne McLellan? Tonight she's histoire.

(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")

Here are my predictions on the cabinet ministers:

Likely to be defeated: Carroll, Frulla, Lapierre, McLellan, Mitchell, Pettigrew, Stronach

Should be close - could go either way: Alcock, Brison, Dosanjh, Emerson, Fontana, Goodale, Martin, Scott, Valeri

Should easily be returned: Cotler, Dion, Dryden, Graham, Guarnieri, McCallum, Owen, Peterson, Regan, Robillard, Volpe

Ujal Dosanjh is a former NDP'er who is a cheat and an opportunist. He cheated to get into the NDP byillegally signing up hundreds and hundreds of East Indians in the Fraser Valley area and then when the NDP got dessimated, he jumped to the Liberal Party when Martin asked him. He's Nothing but a dishonest OPPORTUNIST. He fits in well with Paul Martin. ANYTHING to have his snout in the public trough.
