TIM HUDAK WINS!!! (Via United and Strong)
Go Tim..
I agree Joanne. Regardless of whether your guy/gal wins, the big picture is to end the damagae McGuinty has and continues to inflict on the people of Ontario.
Doing the math..it looks like this is going to go to three rounds.
Hudak not a sure thing…see Russ Campbell’s blog Joanne….it’s going to be a squeaker.
Will we be able to line up behind Klees?
Just watched Stephens interview with Tim, good stuff..
I hope Stephens updates all day…
Go Tim!!!
Richco, we’ll have to do whatever it takes to get our province back..
Hillier endorses Hudak..

Go Tim!!!
Awesome!
Hey Joanne – are you surprised that Klees won Kitchener Conestoga and Kitchener Centre?
He won my riding also. – Politico got the breakdown of who who which riding.
Really surprised by some.
O/T but worth sharing: You know how Ignatieff brags that he is destined to rule over us because of his royal Russian pedigree? That his “family” was so special (like he believes he is). Tell that to the Jewish community:
His great-grandfather was no slouch regarding anti-semitism:
…In Tsarist Russia, Count N P Ignatieff introduced the 1882 ‘May Laws’ banning Jews from owning land and explained that the Jews had ‘succeeded in exploiting the main body of the poor, hence arousing them to a protest which has found distressing expression in acts of violence’…
Yoiks!

Well, I’m staying here. Car stalled. Big plumes of black smoke. Not good.
Soon, you guys will know WHO your NEXT Premier will be.
My crystal ball, never lies!
I like your crystal ball, Bec!

Tim wins!!!
Yes!!! bye-bye Dalton McGuinty!
Diehard Conservative here, more fiscal than social. If whoever wins is another ‘progressive’ my vote stays home. Sorry, as much as I despise Mr. McGuinty, I see no difference with ‘progressive’ Conservatives.
That and the awkwardness of Ms. Elliot’s husband being Finance Minister make me happy she is out.
it is being twittered that Tim HUdak won the third ballot – Klees is currently giving his concession speech.
CTV’s on it!
