I haven't checked for myself, but I did hear that this election wasn't split along urban/rural lines, but that Hudak was rejected across those divides.
Disgust is about the only word I can find to adequately describe my feelings regarding this election.
I'm less disgusted with Wynne's win than I am with the actual choices we were given.
I have never seen a more lackluster group of contenders with as much historical baggage running for any office and still have the electorate go; "ho hum, just another Ontario election".
We have, in no small measure, displayed to the rest of Canada just how low we've sunk in our inability to force any of the parties finding worthy contenders.
We're always screwed. Does anyone really think the PCs or NDP wouldn't screw us just as badly?
Like hell. I never bought this "it doesn't matter who you vote for" attitude. Politicians are politicians, but some still have better policies than others. McGuinty/Wynne actually make me think that maybe Mike Harris wasn't that bad after all...and I hated Mike Harris. Thanks to Bob Rae, the NDP is forever doomed in Ontario. Hudak never should have led the PC's, but John Tory, who was more moderate, wasn't any better. They completely blew elections they should have won handily. Yes, the choices were abysmal...but we give the completely corrupt, incompetent Liberals another majority?!?! Unbelievable!
I would think twice before following any of the three "leaders" out of a burning building.
I held my nose and voted Fiberal. As already indicated, I didn't have any strong feelings towards any of them. I was just simply exercising my right to vote; I still believe in the old adage, if you didn't bother to vote, then don't whine and snivel.
Tim Horton (er, I mean Hudak) lost me on his "plan" to create one million new jobs (specifics would have been nice), after firing 100,000 civil servants, most of whom would have been essential front-line workers in health and education.

Horton, err Harris v.2.0 didn't think he had to deliver the goods on his plan. Apparently he thought voter fatigue with the Fiberals would livrer la marchandise for his party. No, Tim, most of electorate actually wanted a well thought-out plan, you dolt. What he was actually proposing was that we "trust" him--and that's where he made his fatal miscalculatiion. Tim comes off as trustworthy as your friendly neighbourhood loan shark, with his deer-in-headlights gaze, pallid complexion, and overly modulated speaking style. I'm not thrilled the Libs won, but I'm definitely relieved the Tories LOST.
