The PEI provincial election is tomorrow, and is the first of 5 in 8 days. Premier Robert Ghiz is seeking re-election from his little Island fiefdom and he's pretty popular. There was a bit of a scandal but it never really got much coverage and the general mood is that it was all just political grandstanding. The Liberal Party is still ahead of the PCs by about 20 points, and the NDP is polling dismally and could finish behind the Greens. Apparently PEI didn't get the memo that the rest of the country got about ditching the Liberals.
Anyways, first and final projections:
Lib ....... 52-54% ... 25-26 seats
PC ....... 33-35% ... 1-2 seats
NDP ........ 6-8%
Green ...... 4-6%
Politically Uncorrect projects a LIBERAL LANDSLIDE. There is really not much more to say, asides from the fact that there is an outside chance of a clean sweep, which would only be the third time in Canadian and Commonwealth history (precedents include PEI 1935 and New Brunswick 1987).
