babble is rabble.ca's discussion board but it's much more than that: it's an online community for folks who just won't shut up. It's a place to tell each other — and the world — what's up with our work and campaigns.
I'm seeing early numbers for Sudbury and Temiskaming Cochrane and I'm getting very nervous.
Only one small poll last I saw T-C. The riding is largely rural where some polling stations are very one-sided and completely unpredictable of the final vote. In this same riding in the election 5 months ago the Liberal was winning Temiskaming all night, but ended up losing by something like 7 votes based on the last polling station or two to report.
To follow up on my previous post about the odd one-sided single poll that reports first and is not reflective of Timiskaming-Cochrane as a whole. They are already considering Vanthof elected with about 60% of the votes in 21 polls so far.
Is it just me or does it sound like the CBC people are cheerleading for the Liberals?
yeah. they incorrectly said the Liberals won Parkdale High Park federally in 2011. they seemed to say that Gerard Kennedy was an NDPer. they said it was a NDP stronghold. Who are these fools?
CBC announces a Liberal government???? CBC admit the Liberals don't yet have a majority of seats. How can the CBC claim this? BLATANT CHEERLEADING?
There are a few NDP seats where the Liberals are currently leading, while some Liberal seats are currently NDP. Hope the stars line up.
What's up with this "the NDP is disappointed with its results up north?" The NDP is currently leading in a few seats, including Sudbury, which was supposed to be a lock for the local MPP.
Even the Thunder Bay ridings aren't looking great, but again these are only one or 2 polls reporting.
Early polls reporting elected/leading:
PC 24
LIB 21
NDP 2
GRN 0
Horwath elected in her riding.

No polls reported in Timmins - James Bay yet, which should be a very easy NDP win.
