I think that the liberals are going to a lot better than the polls are showing and I think that many people that would vote NDP if scared of the liberals will not vote or vote green because the outcome is such a "sure thing".
I think so too, we are so NDP here we think it's going to be a cakewalk. The Okanagan and much of the Fraser Valley ridings will not likely go NDP.

There is going to be some vote-splitting.
So now I'm predicting Ida Chong to win because of this, and Carole James to only barely win.

OK, I'm predicting now some strange stuff in OB/GH and Victoria/BH.

There are a lot of Weaver signs in Oak Bay, and Sterk signs were everywhere on the 10k route this morning.

But n a perfect world, the NDP would win a minority Gov.

However, might some soft liberal supporters abandon Ida knowing the Libs are going down to defeat and don't want to vote for a lame duck?
OB/GH is really going to be the one to watch along with Vic/BH. It will be a tight three way race in Saanich but if BC's tendency to regress back to the devil you know holds here, Chong will (barely) retain her seat.

Ida Chong has a certain core support that will stick with her, though a lot of soft voters may look to Andrew Weaver. The story of how Chong claimed the full amount of her daily allowance...never went home for lunch or brought in leftovers...puts her in a poor light, and will turn off all but her staunchest supporters.
I can't imagine Carole James not winning in VBH. Sterk will be second.

Liberal 11877
NDP 11316
Green 2330
Presumably the NDP and Green voters will stick where they are, and a bunch of disaffected Liberals will switch. I think it unlikely enough will switch to the Green party to elect them, however.

No way. Weaver is a super-star. He's taking lots of NDP votes next week.

I saw a Fiskar Karma going south on Government today with an Weaver pennant on it, I assumed it was the candidate driving.
Weaver was on TV driving a small Honda the other day, so I doubt he's driving the Fiskar...
