march 17 federal by-elections live results discussion

Yeah I mean why are we waiting until 10 P.M. Eastern for results?
I guess they want to get the B.C. and Sask results included and not have it dragged out too long.
Scott Reid severely annoys me by the way...uh.
NDP Strategist is right: Welcome to 3-4 new Liberal abstainers!

I don't think I'm getting CTV... And the only channel that's showing them is a spanish channel.
westmanguy @ Mon Mar 17, 2008 6:48 pm
What television provider are you with mapleleafsnation?
I can look up the television number for you.
If your on Bell ExpressVu its channel 501. I think on Star Choice its channel 391.

and if the other parties win any its a loss for the liberals .
So. If the Cons win - yay Harper!
If the Libs win - status quo.
If the Cons lose... well, they're Lib ridings anyway.
if the libs lose - huge loss and slap for Dion!
Do I have that right?
Well I'm not sure about the "Yay Harper" part but if the Lib's lose any of the three stronghold seats it will raise some serious questions about Dion's leadership. As for Joan Beatty, if she loses I would think that many would question Dion's judgment in parachuting her into that riding particularly if you take into account the Jocelyn Coulon loss last year.
Given the choice I think I would prefer Beatty over Orchard any day and I think it was a wise move on Dion's part to replace him but if she loses he will take a lot of heat for it.

I think it may be a law, that they had to wait for Vancouver Quadra to close before they could release the results
mapleleafsnation @ Mon Mar 17, 2008 6:57 pm

Ouch, would have been bad enough to lose to the NDP but to lose to the CPC, boy Dion's gonna have some questions to answer tomorrow.
dino_bobba_renno @ Mon Mar 17, 2008 7:07 pm
Any word on Vancouver Quadra yet?
ryan29 @ Mon Mar 17, 2008 7:08 pm
poor showing for the ndp so far , 10% in toronto centre is just embarrassing . there geting beat by the green party .
not surprised there doing nothing in willowdale as its not ndp area at all .
