V-Day.

Oct 14, 2008 11:06

I still don't know who I will mark the X for when I actually get into the booth (or cardboard facsimile) later today. I do know I'm getting pizza for my date with Peter tonight though.

I'm betting wellesleywino on the outcome - we're predicting the seat totals and whoever's closer gets a bottle of wine from the other.

( Here's my call: )

canadian politics, election

As long as it's enough seats between the libs and NDP for a potential coalition gov't, I'm happy. That and getting Mulcair re-elected.

dzuunmod October 14 2008, 15:53:29 UTC

Hmm... I don't see the Liberals and the NDP making nice, even if their combined seat total is over the 155-hump.

I'm going to be watching/cheering a few other things, too:
-to see that Anne Legace-Dowson GOES DOWN TO DEFEAT in Westmount-Ville-Marie
-Ottawa West-Nepean, in the hopes that somehow, some way, John Baird falls to David Pratt
-Ottawa Centre, hoping that Paul Dewar keeps part of my hometown orange
-Edmonton-Strathcona - maybe there will be a Dipper coming out of Alberta. Can you imagine?!

I'm also hopeful we can hang onto Alexa's seat in Halifax.

I think I missed it, but why the hate for Anne?

dzuunmod October 14 2008, 15:59:07 UTC

For two years or so, I listened to her on Radio Noon almost every day. I find her pretentious, condescending, rude and generally insufferable.

How depressing.

The next two years in federal politics are going to be exactly like the last two years. It's not so bad, so long as there's no Conservative majority...

sourdick October 14 2008, 16:07:58 UTC

Urggg...

it's good because this way he won't be able to implement his hidden agenda.

I really don't. I think Mackay's riding was just about the worst place May could have run.

Mmmmm date with Peter.

dzuunmod October 14 2008, 16:24:56 UTC

I didn't really let on in the car the other day because I didn't want to make you jealous... but I love him too.

dzuunmod October 14 2008, 16:27:13 UTC

Ok - now I'm wondering about what an actual date with him would be like.

lucyskydiamonds October 14 2008, 16:36:34 UTC

You & me both. I'm convinced he isn't wearing pants at the news desk.

I swear I love election coverage uniquely because of the Mansbridge overdose.
