The Liberal Party strategists forget one thing: they've lost francophone Canada. I don't see how they make up the losses in Quebec even with a few pickups in British Columbia. It isn't going to happen. But if they want to entertain delusions of victory, its their right. I just can't wait to see voters bid Martin and his gang of thugs good bye and good riddance tomorrow.

There's a web site called www.electionprediction.org that predicts:
Conservatives 118 seats
Liberals 104 seats
Bloc Quebecois 56 seats
NDP 29 seats
Other 1 seat
I can't attest to the reliability of this site - but if true, the Conservatives won't do as well as expected.
opinions anyone?

Its a lefty website and its predictions are selective for my taste. Andrew Coyne and posters on our sister site Free Dominion think the Conservatives will win 140 seats. That's pretty good tea leaf reading in my humble opinion. If they win more it will be a night to remember.

I think the Liberals are going to find a way to steal it again. I have no hope for Canada. I would love to be proved wrong, but I just can't get over the suspicion that somehow, they will pull a rabbit out of the hat and win it again.

Don't forget to pray for a Conservative victory in Canada tomorrow!

I believe the IPSOS poll has a much more optimistic prediction for the CPC.

"Biased msm death rattle" PING!
Since he had them crossing their fingers anyway, Martin might as well have also advised Liberals to hedge their bets by investing heavily in lottery tickets - LOL!

CTV has got it all wrong.
The Conservative party under Stephen Harper will form the new government for all Canadians .
God bless America and all their fine Republicans.

All the lefties who left here cause of Bush and said they were going to Canada...where do they go now? To Cuba of course. Where else?
Castro will gladly provide them with the utopia they seek.

If that happens, do you think Michael Moore will be on suicide watch? That would be worth the price of admission right there. ;)

It is interesting to note the uniqueness of our form of democracy. In many social democracies the President or Prime Minister and in some cases both are voted by the legislature, or in most cases the majority party. In this country each states popular election determines which candidate gets the electoral votes. I like our system much better.

Just say, for the purposes of argument, that Martin is right: The Libs take 115 seats.
A working majority amounts to 155 seats.
Who, in their right mind, would join a coalition with Martin's Liberals?
The NDP is who pulled the rug out from under the last government.
The Bloc is at war with the Libs.
They can't get from here to there with the Greens.
The Conservatives surely wouldn't opt for a "grand coalition".
How could Martin hope to continue governing?

Martin could get less seats than Harper and still be prime minister.
When there is no majority govt martin as the incumbent still has the first shot at forming a new govt.
Martin and Layton will definately have more seats combined than harper.
With Martin's ego for power he could offer jack layton a deputy prime minister job. McClellan the current deputy PM is going to lose.
Martin came to power on an obsession of power and he will not give it up.
