SORRY, STB went to the CONS, just like I said it would. I was surprised how many votes Steen got in Transcona, and also how many Kennard got in Winnipeg South.

another big loss for the liberals is churchill where Keeper lost her red seat to an Orange one for NDP Ashton.

results
Cons: 127 NOPE 143
Libs: 92 NOPE 76
NDP: 37 YUP 37
Bloc: 50 YUP 50
Green: 0 YUP 0
Indep: 2 YUP 2
Yup, you were right about St.B (I do pat myself on the back, though, for being dead-on with the NDP, Bloc, Green and Independents ).

I had underestimated the amount of narrow-minded CJOB listeners in St.B. There was also a surge of Con support, nationally, on the 13th and 14th which didn't show up in the polls. I hadn't put much stock into it, but I'm now thinking that indeed people were influenced at thanksgiving dinners by family members.

The only thing I'm taking comfort in with these results is that the Harper Cons were only capable of a minority - even when running against the weakest Liberal party in Liberal party history.
