Truth is Proulx recovered a bit of what he formerly lost in the 2004 election, debator, and he is far from the 51% the Liberals had in 2000, with his 37.5% and there was a new Bloc candidate last year. The votes are fluid in that riding, and if Iggy continues his flop, it could be up for grabs.
Well naturally the Liberal support in that riding (and in many others) isn't back up at 2000 levels because the Liberals were far below the 2000 levels in 2008! Doesn't that go without saying? The Liberals won a majority government in 2000 and won the popular vote in Quebec and their best performance in Quebec since 1980. 2008 was far below that result. 2000 and 2008 are not comparable elections.
The point is that a number of ridings in Quebec, including Hull-Aylmer, showed modest Liberal recovery in 2008 and showed the Liberals on the upswing in Quebec rather than going down as in 2004 and 2006.
Therefore, since the Liberals didn't lose Hull-Aylmer even when they were at rock bottom levels in Quebec during the sponsorship scandal, they are unlikely to lose it anytime soon now that they are going up again.
