Ten seats are up for grabs in New Brunswick. Only a handful are truly in play with at least six considered locks. My blogging friend NB Politico has done an excellent job of offereing up predictions and frankly I can’t argue with any of them. You can check them out  here. The NDP will likely easily hang on to Acadie-Bathurst which they’ve had for a decade based on the popularity of local MP Yvon Godin. The Liberals will keep Miramichi, Beausejour and probably Moncton-Riverview-Dieppe. The rest are either safe Tory seats or leaning that way. Saint John will be interesting to watch with incumbent Liberal Paul Zed trying to hand on against Tory Rodney Weston (this was Elsie Wayne’s seat for years). Fredericton will also be fun to watch with Liberal Andy Scott calling it quits.
A few of my fellow bloggers have created a great blog to follow the New Brunswick (and Atlantic races) at New Brunswickers Paint the Political Picture. Well worth the visit for the latest in the N.B. races.
From a non-partisan but right-of-centre perpsective, I’ll be offering up my own take both here at Democratic Space and at my regular blog Spink About It on the N.B. races.
