Remember, this is Jim Webb we're talking about. The only votes he'd take away are his own, his wife's and maybe three of his four kids (one probably votes Green Party just to piss the old man off).

I can think of a nicer bunch for it to happen to, but the election's still a year plus two weeks away.

I agree that this is great news, though. :-) Also fitting that at least one of Harper's hatchet men got booted, but he gets to lead his routed rump back into parliament, where they will no doubt view him as a wise and canny leader.

Heh. Apparently the most seats picked up by one party in a single election in Canadian history. Very cool.

I lost my boner weeks ago. Either put out or shut up.

Same here. He'd be a great president, but there's no prospect of it.

Actually, he could be a magnet for disgruntled Republicans who don't want to vote for the insane.

It is a good night. A VERY good night. He made an incredible speech, and now I need to get some sleep.

He won't be leading them. He's already announced he's stepping down. Expect him to disappear into a cushy oil industry job in 3..2...1..

Wonderful to see the likes of Julian Fantino defeated.

Other than reporting the latest feces-tossing contest between Jeb! and Donald, there is no political news for US. Canada is a foreign country so who cares if their elections might be a preview of ours.
