My election night predicitons

Get ready for a yawn, two landslides, a squeaker, one too close to call and a horrible aftershock. 
Here's my take on the Oct. 10 provincial election here in York Region.
• It'll be a landslide for Liberals Greg Sorbara in Vaughan and Michael Chan in Markham-Unionville. 
• Thornhill will come down to the wire — the nail-biting will, however, end when Liberal Mario Racco crawls out in front.
• In Richmond Hill, Progressive Conservative Alex Yuan will surprise no one. He'll win.
• PCs Frank Klees in Newmarket-Aurora and Julia Munro in York Simcoe will be returned to Queen's Park but, their days of winning by wide margins are over. 
• Oak Ridges-Markham is so up in the air, the thin oxygen level is playing Dixie in my head. The moment I pick PC Phil Bannon as the winner based on his local popularity, PC leader John Tory's faith-based school fiasco tips the riding in favour of Liberal Helena Jaczek.
Provincewide, it'll be an ever-so-slim majority for the Liberals.
A sad casualty in this election will be the collapse of the New Democratic Party vote, while the Green Party will prove they missed a very real opportunity to attract support, proving a political party has to do more than dominate all things green.
P.S. Brace yourself for the horrible aftershock — a federal election in early December.

I was very sad to learn this morning that the Tory candidate in my riding Vaughan believes there was racism in this election. I didn't vote for her and it had nothing to do with race, or intolerance. Please don't tarnish Vaughan's reputation with this stuff!
