But the poll does prove that Vaughan is still a safe Liberal riding. Fantino winning is just based on his popularity.
*And* the fact that he was technically "incumbent" in 2011 (thanks to the byelection), and the Liberals at large were in disarray. Were it Fantino vs an incumbent Bevilacqua, it would have been much closer.
Oh, and re Kitchener-Waterloo: go back to some of my posts 'way earlier in this thread, pin-pricking assumptions that the seat was "too yuppie/high-tech/affluent" for anything other than a Tory/Liberal race. Look: when I said the last federal result was "skewed by Telegdi", I meant it, I really meant it. And, now you know what I was getting at.
And altogether, it's worth considering that this lowly provincial byelection might be, by proxy, the first *real* test of the Orange Crush's resilience and "potential for growth"...
Isn't Kitchner-Waterloo a university seat though?
