This is a wonderful night for the Liberals. Not just provincially, but federally too as it may point to the possible resurrection of the federal brand in Ontario:
But even one of [Harper's] MPs, chatting casually in a cafeteria lineup in the Centre Block this week, was worried.
"It means the Liberal party is back," he said, having in mind the federal Liberal party, crushed so decisively in Ontario in the May election.

I think Dalton McGuinty may just miss out on a majority by a couple of seats, and if that happens it will be because of the only mistake he made in this campaign - writing off Northern Ontario. By not attending the N. Ontario debate and conceding the area to the NDP, it may be what costs him a 3rd majority.
But overall, it is a historic victory - the first time in a century that a Liberal leader has been elected 3 times in Ontario. And of course, only a few months ago, most pundits had predicted McGuinty dead and proclaimed Hudak the new Premier.

Ummm...by 9:39 when you posted this CTV had already called this 10 minutes before as a Liberal government either minority or majority. I imagine every other channel had as well.

There's no doubt the Liberals are going to lose between 15 and 20 seats tonight and have a much smaller majority (if it ends up being a majority) than they did going into this election. I myself predicted the Liberals would lose that number on a previous thread. It was never in doubt.
But obviously it is a victory for McGuinty. Just look at the threads on Rabble earlier this year predicting him to be dead as a doornail.

Nice to see Bob Chiarelli holding off ultra-con Randal Denley so far in Ottawa West.
Also nice to see Laura Albanese competitive in York South-Weston.
Looks like Yasir Naqvi is heading for a huge victory in Ottawa Centre. That one was expected to be close.
Interesting to see that the Liberals have a slight lead in Glengarry - Prescott - Russell. Federally that riding has gone Conservative, but perhaps Francophones remember the PC's policies in closing the Montfort and are staying with the Libs.

The big loser is Hudak. I really think if the Conservatives ran someone who wasn't a nut bar, they would have won a majority. The more people saw of this creepy creepazoid, the more they didn't like him.
So far, it seems only Andrea Horwath can say she increased her share of seats.
(correction-- Hudak has increased his seats, but from where the party sat in polls not to long ago, that has still got to be a dissapointment.)

On the contrary, it has been a huge night for the Green party. They have tripled expectations and are bringing in 3%

Good to see Kathleen Wynne easily re-elected. She is openly gay and the PC's (eg. Vince Agovino) targeted her in this election with anti-gay literature.

Not true. If the Liberals win the most seats, but without a majority it is still a Liberal minority government. Things can change in the weeks after that as happened in 1985 when the Libs and NDP joined forces. However, in that election the PCs with their 52 seats remained the government. Bob Rae introduced a motion of non-confidence which brought down the government and then the LG asked Peterson if he could form a government. Peterson was not asked first even though the Libs and NDP together held the majority of seats. It was entirely ok for CBC, CTV and the rest to call it a Liberal government when they did.
