2nd Round Results

Kennedy: 285 (13.7%)
Pupatello: 817 (39.4%)
Sousa: 203 (9.8%)
Takhar: 18 (0.9%)
Wynne: 750 (36.2%)

Takhar missed the 2nd round drop off but unofficially went to Pupatello, That's why his number above is so low.  Right now its a coin flip with Kennedy the possible Queen maker.  If Sousa goes to Pupatello, which is the speculation, Kennedy may go now as well so we can end it in the 3rd...but to whom, and how many delegates  come along?  Right now its looking like Wynne by a hair.

PS.  Sousa has gone to Wynne; so has Kennedy.  Only question now is: does Pupatello concede and end this sucker now?

Bad decision if Wynne is the leader, in my opinion. But I'm not Ontarian, so my opinion doesn't count. The delegates have learned little from federal Liberal politics and the failure of Dion.

She's a candidate you can feel good losing with. Horvath will likely cause the fall of the government at the earliest opportunity. And Premier Hudak it will be.

I keep on wondering about that. For the last election, the Ontario NDP took out a big loan -- $4.3 million with their headquarters as collateral. As of April of last year they were down to $3 million. (If you're curious, here's how the Ontario NDP does in comparison to the Ontario Liberals and Conservatives in terms of fundraising.)Anyway, I can't see them gunning for another election until they've paid most of this off -- and that might give the government some time. I'd be surprised if an election is called in the summer.
