Better in some cases then I thought, and worse than I hoped. The PQ picked up a lot more than I anticipated, and the PC a lot less.
Obviously, Martin's anti-NDP message worked in a lot of ridings, and the Liberals cashed in on the fear of the right to snag an extra ten seats or so. However, the NDP still hold the spoiler cred in this government, which should see some inventive legistlation in it's time.
This could be a disaster for Canada, or exactly the kind of wakeup and bipartisian coalition that the country has needed for years.
