I hear that Adam Vaughan has been out campaigning for Cathy Crowe, which is something of a surprise as despite having similar ideologies Vaughan doesn't get on very well with the Toronto NDP.
That's my thinking. The Liberals could have the devil himself as a candidate and everyone would still vote for him. I've had all three candidates' representatives knock on my door, each asking for my vote. I have to say I'm likely not going to bother voting at all. I know the cliche is that if you don't vote that your can't complain, but so be it....I'll complain anyway.In the end it doesn't matter. Toronto is Liberal at heart, the centre is no exception and my vote is only going to solidify that.

Done. Interestingly, the fellow at the polling station took my driver's license and then quizzed me on my address and name, before returning the license. Good to see some attempts at verification.Election today. Get out and vote.
It was his to lose.Glen Murray won!
Congrats to Cathy for making them nervous.
Cathy Crowe did well to almost double the NDP vote from the last election. It has been said that a big help for Murry, was the Rosedale Tory vote. They were so afraid of a socialist win, that about 10% of them voted for the Liberal, and the Tory vote dropped precipitously. The right wing Parties stick together when threatened.
There may have been strategic "stop Cathy Crowe" voting north of Bloor, though I also think that:
1.) John Tory is far more appealing than Tim Hudak in a riding like TC
2.) Conservatives may have stayed home given that they had no chance
