So, the Kingston Whig Standard supposedly took a oujai board to Sir John A. MacDonald’s grave and asked for some election predictions.
 I can’t find it online, and didn’t actually read the article (yes, they printed this, it wasn’t just a drunken journalistic escapade), but a reporter told me today that good ol’ John A. predicted 4 Green ridings. They had their eyes closed, they didn’t touch it, and John. A. predicted 4 Green ridings.
I can tell you now, I think two of them will be Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound and Guelph. Central Nova has a shot, Vancouver Centre has a shot, West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country has a shot. There could be a ton of flukes and a ton of students who aren’t counted in polls (because its still illegal to poll cell phones, thank God) who could give surprise results if they actually get themselves out to the polls.
But John A. says four… it’s probably more than DemocraticSpace will give us.

I’d love to believe it. But I’m thinking each the first two are 1/4 chances, the other two 1/8, and the rest a respectable 3rd or 4th.
I’ll hope for about 10% nationally, but guessing about 8%, and hoping for some proportional system to make either impressive result for a surging party worth a damn.
Actually, I’m really hoping we beat the BQ nationally. That would really drive the concept among all parties.
seriously?
zero. zip. nada. ain’t gonna happen. especially when your leader can’t summon the moral conviction to call all supporters to actually vote for her party, but flee to whomever will stop Harper.
what a joke. In Richmond, we are supposed to vote for Liberal Raymond Chan, who supports paving over the Garden City farmland, to stop Conservative Alice Wong, who is opposed, in the name of the Environment. The frantic stop Harper movement is just a front for the Liberals. vote Green if your support lies there.
