The Best Place To Election Night Coverage In Lotusland...

AllTheThinLinesBetweenCleverAndStupid
ThatFitVille

_________

Latenight Update Upshot In Lotusland...Gregor holds on and VV keeps Council (but barely, really, when you look at raw numbers)...NPA takes Parks Board...Toss Up on School Board (late returns may shift) with potential Green balance of power there.
_________



Sure.

You can go to all the usual suspects to get the results and all that.

Heckfire, I even notice that the Spam-A-Lotteers are apparently cranking up their prop-shop with one new member that truly surprises me.

But....

I reckon the real place to go at 8:01pm for real truth in all things analytical and critical is over at a Twittmachine for the ages.

Sure it's a parody account.

But who the heck cares!




___________
Elections BC-type folks of the censorious variety....Please note two things....First, this is not the feed of an actual candidate...Second, the Tweet above was posted BEFORE election day....

Grant--

They have decent exit polling?

Surprised that COPE would spend much of their limited resources on such a thing.

RossK said...

Surprised that Mr. Fontaine isn't screaming about a ColdSnapAGeddon.

Or some such...

...Thing

Ian BaileyVerified account ‏@ianabailey

Now @LindaHepner has 1109 votes to 389 for @BarinderRasode and 360 for @mccallum4mayor

RossK said...

Grant--

Ya...And that lead has built...Know there are pocket-specific polls in Surrey....But if this holds that unholy alliance running that horse would get what they deserve...

.

Grant G said...

Clever and true...Classic.

RossK said...

Ha!

Will have to put a Snark watch on Marky-Mark's Twittmachine feed.

(Looks like Hepner is running away on the backstretch)

.

RossK said...

How come nobody on the MoCo panel asked Senator Larry about the view from his non-developer non-assisted Olympic Village condo?

(when he said that developers had nothing to do with Gregor's non-apology apology earlier this week)

.

RossK said...

D. Corrigan hold on Burnaby weakening?

Only up by 1600....

Percent that is.

.

Grant G said...

Bradley, Hurl..ly and Moe..

A Tragic Shakepearian Three Stooge Stage Play..

Indeed

Grant G said...

Pipelines and Oil...Loud Burnaby message to Harpercon oil lobby.

RossK said...

Rasode being banged like gong by Hepner in Surrey by almost 3 to 1.

Interesting how the media-types were cowed by that trinity, eh?

.

Grant G said...

More garbage polling by the "fixers"


Brad Zubyk ‏@Bzubyk

New Insites west poll is a three way dead heat. Gonna be a sprint to the finish. #OneToughMother

9:15pm...

Finally...First Vancouver polls...Very close all over the place...If Gregor loses it will be because they couldn't keep the coalition together.

.

RossK said...

...Because Wong has some votes.

Grant G said...

SunCivicLee

with 12 of 129 polls reporting, @MayorGregor 5,740, @kirklapointe 5038. @AdrianeCarr @george_affleck still tops council #vanelxn #yvrelxn

Here comes the Vision machine

Grant G said...

Interesting and telling...anti oil n anti pipeline...Adrienne Carr of the GREEN party, top vote getting counselor..hmmm

RossK said...

A Carr could be Kingmaker on VanCity council...Really maddening that you can't see which polls are reporting given how heterogenous city is...I can see that there is nothing from Strathcona yet.

shane woodford ‏@WoodfordCKNW980

Sounds like an upset in #Abbotsford as @HenryBraun2014 seems to have unseated incumbent @MayorBanman #bccivic



Abbotsford...The people had enough of that thug..good riddens

RossK said...

Good news/bad news...Mr. Denike and friend out if it by 5K votes for VanSchool Board....

Will he get angry?

.

Varoom varoom...Second gear`s alright...Third gear a comin

Grant G said...

Oh no Mr. Bill...Not an angry Denike..

Perhaps he`ll build a new office bathroom?

Grant G said...


Tzeporah Berman ‏@Tzeporah

At Vision results party big cheers as results showing Gregor leading by 5000 #VisionVancouver #Vancouver

Varoom Varoom Third gear allright

RossK said...

One thing we, in Lotusland Central know for sure....COPE is now officially (and inevitably?) dead.

Looks like the Vision wizards gamble to take a chance on destroying coalition worked.

WoodfordCKNW980

70/129 #vanelxn polls @mayorGregor way ahead now 41,645 to @kirklapointe's 34,451. #bccivic

Varoom, Varoom..4th gear is alright.

Grant G said...

WoodfordCKNW980

I feel pretty comfortable saying @MayorGregor will not be changing his Twitter handle anytime soon. #bccivic #vanelxn

Grant G said...

Daniel Fontaine ‏@Fontaine_D 2m2 minutes ago

Good night folks! Time to step away from computer now that all results are in. Lights out! #MVvote2014

Varoom varoom...5th gear is allright.

Another loud message to the Harpercon oil lobby...Another defeat for the pollsters..and a big loud rejection of the mainstream media..Vancouver Sun who?...CKNW dead air radio..

Bruce Allen and Michael Campbell be damned!

RossK said...

Other real (if still incremental) change in Van Election...Greens look like they might end up having toe holds on Council, Parks Board AND School Board.

.

Grant G said...

And with that...A good night to all.

Pleasant Dreams

RossK said...

Thanks Grant--
