We Just Don't Know: Maybe Something Bad, Maybe Something Good

Substitute your voting and the outcome of today's election with the "History Eraser Button." Just like Stimpy, you can't resist touching it. ....



It's a real nail-biter!

I agree... I'm alternating between moments of hopefulness and concern. Given that the ideal situation is virtually impossible (the NDP getting a plurality of seats), I've lowered my expectations to:

1) The Conservatives win a fewer number of seats than last time.

2) The NDP finishes a strong second, blowing away the Liberals, and leads an effective opposition in the House.

That way, a message will still have been sent: while many Canadians are doing well enough to vote the same way as last time, a large number of Canadians are unhappy with the previous government... for once, try to be the government for all Canadians. (Yeah, I know, the "message" would be ignored...)

I will be extremely disappointed if the Conservatives maintain or increase their seat numbers. I will be incredulous, thrilled, ecstatic, and considering switching to an entirely orange-colored diet if the NDP wins.

Also kudos to you, thwap, for consistently finding time and subject matter to write about during the election campaign. Being an on-off blogger myself, I realize that it's tough sledding sometimes. :)
