65. 10:11PM ON C-SPAN 2 CANADA REPORT: LOOKS SCREWED!!!
Liberals are being WIPED OUT in seats but have held well enough to split it badly so that the Cons are geting in.

Cons looking to get a majority on just 38%.

NDP has swallowed BQ and are on the way to near-tripling their seats.

SEATS SO FAR -- PROJECTIONS

CON 138 +22 (need only +9 for majority)
NDP 87 +50 or more
LIB 30
BQ 4

Percentages:
CON 38ish
NDP 30ish
LIB 29ish
BQ 3 or so

Ignatieff may be wiped out in his district.

We're looking at a very low pct. of the vote count. In Ontario like 3 or 4 percent of the total vote counted.

QUOTE: "They (the Cons) can end up winning more seats with LESS VOTES than they had last time."

Damn, damn, damn the winner-take-all system. 60+ percent of the people are about to be disenfranchised.

Slim hope remains. Lead is less than 150 votes in many ridings, at least 100 are too-close-to-call (though many of these ARE projected).
