DISCLAIMER about "King of Kensington" writing on electionprediction.org

This King of Kensington must be an NDP party HQ type from Toronto, writing optimistically, of course.

This is not a posting from the New King of Kensington (out in Calgary) who actually knows a thing or two about Ottawa politics, including excellent knowlege of Ottawa Centre, and personal knowledge of the excellent nominated Liberal candidate, one Yasir Naqvi.

My prediction here on my own blog:

Liberals hold Ottawa Centre in provincial election, unless NDP somehow produces a superstar candidate. The margin will be reduced, naturally, because Richard Patten has departed, and Dalton McGuinty is now an incumbent government Premier (who has delivered an excellent overall package for Ontarians, by the way, despite the 'noise' out there about the health care levy)

Prediction: Liberal hold.

This prediction will be posted on the electionprediction site when time and technology properly permits.

The End.

This urban seat chock-full of civil servants and creative class/intelligentsia seats is a top-tier pickup for the NDP. Paul Dewar won this seat federally even when many claimed the seat's NDP stature was entirely votes for Ed Broadbent.
