The CSPAN announcer cautioned that a lot of the Ridings are separated by very few votes. Many by as little as 10 votes. Heavens knows that in Chicago, an early vote like that wouldn't hold up for long. :(

137 seats still not in nearly all of praries, Alberta, BC and Territories. Outlying Ontario and others still in play for remainder.

1. Alberta+ Praries = at least 40-45 seats out of 56
2. BC -NDP and libs allow 35 seats for PC
3. 145 looks like baseline expectations. Pretty close

You'll see a huge jump in the "C" column when Alberta starts reporting. Alberta was 26-2 (Conservative over Liberal) going into this election, and anything less than a 28-0 sweep will be a disappointment.

I saw a graphic earlier showing that the Libs were gaining 2.7% over last time, but that the Tories had gained more than 5% over last time.

That sounds like a good trend.
