I'm going to say slight conservative majority

All the polls suggest people want change. 60% +, I think??

I highly doubt people will want to go back to the polls in another 18 months

The Liberals ran a PATHETIC campaign with no ideas but lots of gaffes

The Conservatives ran an idea-filled platform with little gaffes.

I assume that the news media outlets are doing everything they can to under-report the Conservative rise.


By the end of the day, Martin will be as old as last Wednesday's poutine.

What channel have you been watching? All the news I've seen is obvious in its reporting of the sheer inevitablity of a Harper win. There has been no "under-reporting" that I've seen.

This is classic. I make a point based on a relative level of degree, and you make it an absolute all-or-nothing.

So why do you do it? I assume it's because you're looking for a chance at a cheap retort, and by overstating my point, you can seem to have a quick comeback.

Or is it just because your thinking is so limited everything is just black and white, stimulus and response, yin or yang?


So, which is it, cheap ploy or intellectual limitation?

Neither. You said that the media was under-reporting the CPC rise. I replied, by way of inquiry, where you had been getting your news fix. Because I (and MCB is backing me up on this [thank you by the way]) have not seen any evidence of that in the media. Not CBC, not Global, not CTV, not anyone is diminishing Harper and the CPC's inevitable success come Monday.

Actually, I must disagree.

For the most part, CTV has been good. Following the stories as they came. Whether they were negative or positive for either party.

Now, today was different. CTV Local news in Toronto, headlined with a story about Martin and his rally. Nothing about the Buzz comment, nothing about Harper. That came later. The Hargrove problem was the top political news at 6pm EST, along side the Liberal MP that backed down in Quebec.

Why did CFTO decide to push the Martin campaign stop first, ignoring the other major election issues?

Do they feel sorry for Martin?

They've been pretty good for the majority of the campaign, but this last "save Martin" push is puzzling.

Saw it.
Wouldn't want to be a front row camera man, Martin was spitting his ususal attack on Harper.

Conservative minority...around 130 seats; NDP around 30 seats; BQ around 60 seats; Liberals around 80 seats.

It's still really volatile though, so the Conservatives could still drop considerably...especially if one or two of their yahoos start yarking into microphones. If the gag falls off and one of Tallywhacker's soul mates ends up on the national news shows, you could still see a Liberal minority, albeit a tiny one.
