They (studio analysts) are more keen to seeing Charest take a seat in a by-election. Myself, I think his goose is cooked. Not a word about who'd replace him. His deputy premier maybe?
Over a 13% swing from Liberal to ADQ tonight. Incredible.
FWIW, there'll be a federal election long before the next Quebec vote, but you already knew that.
I guess maybe a year.
I just heard some fool on CTV try and spin this as a terrible result for Harper. How do they come up with this stuff?
Are they kidding? Harper has GOT to be licking his chops right now at the possibilities.
Charest is now within 300 votes he might yet pull it out.
Orford, Rouyn-Noranda-Témiscamingue, and Johnson are the only seats still undeclared.
Claude Forgues PQ 10973 34.15% X
Jean Charest LIB 10863 33.8%
It's only 110 votes now and the CBC is now posting that he lost. I almost want to see him come back so the CBC calls it wrong twice in one night. :)

Boisclair about to concede.
The music is louder than the crowd. The video was acting up on me so I can't see it, but I bet it's a morgue in that ballroom right now.
Looks like the final results will be
46 PLQ
42 ADQ
37 PQ
All 125 seats now declared, but we still don't know what's up in Sherbrooke.
CBC: Charest's entourage insists that they've won the riding by 1000 votes.
In that case, the results would be:
47 PLQ
42 ADQ
36 PQ
Charest has officially pulled ahead, and he very well may have won it after all.
CPAC & the Liberal HQ have called it for Charest. Reports of his political demise seem to have been greatly exaggerated.

Boisclair's probably finished, the separatists have been dealt a crushing blow, and Harper will probably cash in within the next few months. What's more is that Dumont is definitely within striking distance to win the next election himself.
This was an historic night in Quebec and Canada, and I'm glad I got to see it in motion.
