It went for Mike Harris' party in 1990 (when the NDP won) and then again in 1995, and 1999 with over 50% of the vote going PC. <BR/><BR/>The Liberals getting 60% there is no small feat and they don't need to get anywhere near those margins in other parts of Ontario to pick up seats. I don't think they will do 7% better than in 2006 in every riding in Ontario, but I do think the Willowdale results bode well.<BR/><BR/>It is also reasonable to conclude that the NDP is in trouble when they are battling the Greens for second or third in places where they thought they were going to get a more receptive audience. Having the NDP forced to battle the Greens will help the Liberals too. So everyone has something to be happy about last night except the NDP.Danielle Takacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07298674716918123751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430921123281506833.post-80008955428115619222008-03-18T12:40:00.000-04:002008-03-18T12:40:00.000-04:00Sorry, I don't see where Calgary Grit says anythin...Sorry, I don't see where Calgary Grit says anything that resembles "that the Liberals are in excellent shape in Ontario".
