I wouldn’t be surprised if she did.”

You’re right. In fact, I received a robo-call last night from MP Andrew Cash calling for volunteers to blitz the riding tomorrow with him and Chow. Short of a major gaffe (or skeleton in the closet), it’s hard to imagine that the NDP could lose this seat. I predict that the riding will be flooded with hundreds of NDP canvassers.

Perhaps Jack Layton only won the first time due to Mills going all socon, but they did keep reelecting him up until 2011, when his seat was vacated due to his death. This, despite a Liberal candidate other than Mills.

Also, the fact that the Liberals’ vote count has been steadily declining since 2004.

It looks like all the candidates are local (From Toronto, anyway), so the constituents would have someone local, no matter who wins.

I find it highly unlikely that TD would go Green.

TD voters have given Jack the Leader a respectful nod, not an endorsement (the media’s misrepresentation of fact and law and responsible politicing in the most recent election may be the exception). In spite of my being a Liberal, I won’t discount the possibility that TD goes Green or anything for that matter…the voters here are very smart and they will look at the individuals deeply. Though I am confident that they would like a neighbour to represent them since it has been a long time since they had someone who lived and breathed the neighbourhood with them.
