It's too bad I moved out of the KW riding two weeks ago.

My prediction: narrow NDP pickup. Not that it matters because someone always ducks in the game of chicken between Grits and Dippers. Plus Hudak blew a ridiculously open goal last year, I wouldn't want him to hit the trail anytime soon.

Most pathetic was Tim Hudak insisting KW was a "Witmer seat" and not a "PC seat". If anything, a halfway decent PC leader would naturally hold this seat.

Forget "narrow", this is a Dipper romp. Congrats to Hatman and other resident Dippers. Cue round of PC leadership speculation starting tomorrow.

This kind of reminds me of those QC by-elections in 2001 or 2002 where the ADQ swept basically everything and went from like 10-15% to winning with 50ish%.

FWIW, CTV calls KW for Fife.

After 86 polls, Turmel doubles his vote. He's on a roll...

Update: 97 polls and he's doubled it again. Did CTV call too early? Grin

Well, credit where due: excellent result for Fife and the party, obviously. I'll admit I didn't start out thinking it was likely.

In the last few days, there were "No McGuinty, Not This Time" signs springing like mushrooms. No party officially backed this campaign. It sounds rather fishy.

Back of the envelope calculations put total votes in KW at 40000, putting voter turnout at 40% or so. Not bad for a byelection.

I suppose it's fair to say that students vote NDP, grads vote Liberal?

More like: professors and related egghead types voted Ignatieff in '11.

Should be higher, I think. Then again, this is Ontario provincial politics.

OK, congrats NDP. Anything which gives a black eye to Tim Hudak is fine by me, even if this is terrible.

I hope someone creates a wiki article for Fife so that she has a chance to win reelection.

Well, Fife *is* a bit of a cutie, though that sounds like an overreaction;)

I suppose one can claim Vaughan as a more sobering NDP result--though by post-Rae, pre-Orange Crush standards, for them to float to 11% in a byelection seat like that would be astronomical.  (NB: in the 1991 byelection that returned Sorbara to Queen's Park, the NDP got 1.97%.  Green got 2.10%.  And then there's the federal Fantino byelection to consider...)
