Coderre didn't say anything about resigning his seat prematurely. Given that Tremblay is a Pelquiste this could mean he's not seeking a fourth term. The alternative is getting steamrolled in a leadership race.

Denise Savoie is resigning, so Victoria will shortly be vacant.

My prediction: narrow NDP pickup. Not that it matters because someone always ducks in the game of chicken between Grits and Dippers. Plus Hudak blew a ridiculously open goal last year, I wouldn't want him to hit the trail anytime soon.

Forget "narrow", this is a Dipper romp. Congrats to Hatman and other resident Dippers. Cue round of PC leadership speculation starting tomorrow.

Dippers eyeing Bourassa for when Coderre vacates it next year.

I'd assume Coderre has some people in mind, no idea as to whether they're "stars" or not.

Them Reds aren't happy with Crockatt as Calgary Centre's next MP, from Redford on down.

Crap poll from the same people who said Wildrose and the PQ would win thumping majorities.

McGuinty just nuked whatever chance the Grits might've had.

In a nutshell, confirming every stereotype Albertans have of Liberals. Rae has already apologized for McGuinty's comments.

Over 50 in Durham, less in CC. Then there are some claiming the Greens will do well in Victoria...

I expect drifting Tories to come back in the final days, like the provincial election, in CC. Dunno about the others.

Crockatt retakes a 10-vote lead.

Question: how small does the margin have to be for an automatic recount? 0.5%?

Yep. Do we have any idea which polls are reporting? I still think Crockatt wins narrowly, but who knows.

CBC has called Durham for O'Toole.

Crockatt's lead continues to widen. Unless there's a major stash of Liberal votes to come...

There's this lady on Twitter with the handle @carlena. She seems to have scoops on CC... says Locke is ahead.

Even Victoria is fairly close, the Dippers lead by 4.

Has your insider updated yet Hatman? Mine hasn't. We'll see who's right... they or EC.

Also, Greens take the Victoria lead for the first time.

Mine updated: Crockatt will lead by 200 with the next batch.
