Neither of those seats would have been in play either way.
The results are going to be interesting. I thought the Liberals had the edge based on incumbency but recent media coverage is starting to change my mind on how important that is. It has been mentioned in the news that Dwight Ball’s events haven’t been well attended, even though they’re in Liberal held districts. I listened to the CBC pollcast podcast yesterday and it was also mentioned how in western Newfoundland things seemed good for the Liberals but as the campaign moved into central people were angry. I’ve also seen several articles on district profiles that have brought up that constituents feel their MHAs are silent and not visible.
Ches Crosbie and the PCs had a rough day though so who knows how the next few will play out.
