Global is calling it too soon. Let's wait for the actual results.

She boasted of how they went from 600 to 9000 votes, but didn’t seem to mention that the Liberals did her the favour of not running a candidate against her.

Thanks Grig.

It's a good night in Canada.

[Grig]

It’s a projection, this is far from over.

Dion’s English skills makes Jean Chretien look like Olivier.

Too soon. There are no exit polls in Canada. So this is all guesswork.

Wait.

Hellen Clark and I have something in common.

For posting that picture of Helen Clark without some sort of
"WARNING -- PUT ON WELDERS FACEMASK BEFORE SCROLLING
DOWN PAGE TO PHOTO IMAGE OF HELEN CLARK"

..."null and void", I find you guilty of distribution of pornography
by means of the Internet.
(/SARC)

But for Helen Clark to have not availed herself of
the services of a good orthodontist...
Helen Clark is GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY, ad nauseum!!!

[Squawk 8888]

Cons pull ahead, CTV just called Conservative minority.

[buccaneer81]

I agree. Harper was sandbagging, big time. He knew he’d do well.

[goldstategop]

I think its looking very good tonight! We'll just have to do it the old fashioned way! Wait until all the votes are counted! :)

[Squawk 8888]

CTV calling Conservative low 119, high 152.

[Army Air Corps]

Dion’s English skills makes Jean Chretien look like Olivier.

Damn! Now THAT is funny. Gut-busting funny.

[VOA]

Elizabeth May, Green Party leader.

GUILTY!!!!!
Of consuming so many calories per day that her carbon footprint
is much, much, much larger than her flabby self!!!!!

[buccaneer81]

CBC panelists are trying not to let it show, but they’re ready to have a fit. It’s killing them to admit the Conservatives are doing well.

[goldstategop]

Exit poll projections are usually wrong. ;-)

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

[GiveEmDubya]

Look at that, Lib vote getting hammered in Ontario. Evenly spread to all other parties.

[KansasCanadian]

CBC eating crow, so delicious!

[fanfan]

LOL!

[goldstategop]

I'll go for broke and call it with 152. Its four shy of a majority but I think it'll be on the money. :)
