James Bow has an overview of the 2008 election campaign up on his blog. Not only is James playing chess when everyone else is playing checkers he is doing it tomorrow when everyone else is stuck on yesterday.
...Election day is tomorrow and I’m feeling… uneasy. There’s something in the air that wasn’t there the last time around. I’ve heard it spoken in conversations at my local Tim Horton’s and my local Starbucks: the voters are mad. Actually, the anger isn’t so unusual; what’s different is the sense I have that people want to do something about it, even if they don’t know what that something is. I’ve seen voters this angry before, but I’ve never seen them this engaged. I hear, again and again, “throw the bastards out!” When somebody pointed out that we were in a minority government and which bastards should we throw out, the enthusiastic response was “all of ‘em! Screw ‘em!”
The "poll" referenced yesterday spoke to some of that as well.

I will now exercise my own prescience. Behold!
No one is angry. Caffeine makes people talk shit. No bastards will be thrown out. No statements will be made. The government will return as is, perhaps with one or two more seats, perhaps with one or two less.
