QS will bleed support from the PQ, dunno what effect CAQ will have. This is our first four-cornered election since 1970. Difference is that the third/fourth parties are nowhere near strong enough to collapse un des deux like the Creditistes/Peqs did then. What they can do is deprive Marois of victory.

My early prediction: at least a 50-50 shot of the winner losing the popular vote.

On paper Marois should be cruising. The fact that she's level-pegging says a lot.

Depends on the vote split. This is a time where I really wish we had exit polls so you could see the breakdowns... but alas, I'm sure Hatman and Funke will do that for us.

Marois should have been taken out? By whom? She's their best and only option. I agree that there's little enthusiasm behind her but when was the last time either the Pelqs or Peqs had genuine enthusiasm behind them?

The last time the Peqs had genuine enthusiasm was probably 1994. PLQ... I dunno, 1973? 1962? Tongue

RDI's QP has devoted their entire show to LBB's candidacy. LOL. Tongue

CAQ star candidate?

At least that bubble was popped. There are few people in provincial politics I dislike more than Legault, mostly because of that godawful "reform" (which I narrowly escaped) he and Marois pushed through in the last PQ government.

Claire Samson will be a CAQ candidate, per RDI.

Peqs definitely swept the starstakes this cycle.

Apparently the Grits are at 22 among Francophones. Which sounds like a PQ majority to me.

At some point we'll have to compile a list of star candidates/ridings to watch on E-Night. Tongue

The odds of a referendum going beyond a fetish of the Toronto media claque is somewhere between zero and nil.

Quebec City was also the federal Tories' mini-fortress until Orange Crush. A relatively small city, wealthy and fiscally conservative. Somewhat snobbish too. They see themselves as aristocrats to Montreal's bourgeoisie.
